Rock me Amadeus by Falco
He was the first punk ever to set foot on this earth.
He was a genius from the day of his birth.
He could play the piano like a ring and a bell
And ev'rybody screamed
Come on, rock me Amadeus.
He was a superstar, he was dynamite and whatever he did
it Seemed to be alright
And he drank and he cursed and he fooled around
But when the women would shout
Rock me Amadeus,
Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus,Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus,
Oh oh oh Amadeus.
With a bottle of wine in one hand and a woman in the other
Cause he was a ladies man
He never stopped to worry what the next day would bring
Because the girls would sing
Rock me Amadeus,
Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus,Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus,
Oh oh oh Amadeus.
His mind was on rock and roll and having fun
Because he lived so fast he had to die so young.
But he made his mark in history
Still ev'rybody says
Rock me Amadeus
Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus,Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus,
Oh oh oh Amadeus.
