Today Was a Good Day

Scheiß!

Yo!

Just wakin’ up in the morning, gotta ‘Danke Gott’

I don’t know but today seems kinda odd

No clouds on my roof, sun’s up before nine

It’s not even raining and the blue skies are fine

My neighbor isn’t smoking and my kids are already dressed

No camper vans across the street – yo, that’s the best

Matt got pretzels so breakfast is set

Kids are buying lunch today and the basement’s not wet

It’s not a sheets and towels day so I got an extra 8 hours

With any luck the grocery will have some Gummi bear sours

I gotta go ’cause I got me a Mini to drive

Ask myself if the Autobahn today I will survive

Look in my rearview, got nobody flying up

I wave to the speed camera like, yo, whassup

No tickets for me today and no traffic to fight

And everything is alright

Hit the store, check my purse, I got a Euro for my shoppin’ cart

Don’t even gotta ask one from the lady with the wart

Put on my FFP2 and roll into the aisles

Dodging German ladies like I’m Simone Biles

Remembered all the rules, nobody had to wait

Didn’t even hafta use Google Translate

The grocery-checker-outer is racing to beat me

But I bag up all my stuff before he can even ring me

I can’t believe, today was a good day

Now it’s to German class where I ace out my rival

I got words like Sehenswürdigkeiten, it’s a matter of survival

I match up all the tenses and the genders and the cases

My teacher look at me like I ran ’round all the bases

(Scheiß!)

I didn’t even hafta use Google Translate

Yo I didn’t even hafta use Google Translate

On the way home I get a call from my man

He says we don’t gotta eat sausages from a pan

‘Let’s get Thai take-out and call it a night’

And everything is alright

Before we go to bed, we check the trash sched(ule)

It’s a paper day tomorrow and we didn’t even miss it

German trash bureaucracy can go ahead and kiss it

A whole month of space for the Amazon box tower

And my neighbors aren’t sour

And everything is alright

As I turn in for the night

Look out of my window, I see the Frankfurt blimp (yo here it’s called a Zeppelin)
And it says, “Anne Marie’s a pimp!”
Today, I didn’t even hafta use Google Translate
I gotta say it was a good day
(Scheiß!)
