Schnaps! That was his dying shout
Schnaps! That was his dying shout,
Then angels came and bore him out.
Schnaps! That was his dying shout,
Then angels came and bore him out.
So they took him up to heaven,
Where they gave him milk to drink.
He considered that an outrage, So he made an awful stink.
Schnaps! That was his dying shout,
Then angels came and bore him out.
Schnaps! That was his dying shout,
Then angels came and bore him out.
Then he went on down to Hades,
Thirst was causing him despair.
But aside from boiling sulfur there were no good drinks down there.
Schnaps! That was his dying shout,
Then angels came and bore him out.
Schnaps! That was his dying shout,
Then angels came and bore him out.
So he now roams through the heavens,
Tears are streaming down his face.
There the satellites are plenty, but there are no bars in space.
Schnaps! That was his dying shout,
Then angels came and bore him out.
Schnaps! That was his dying shout,
Then angels came and bore him out.
Schnaps! That was his dying shout,
Then angels came and bore him out.
