We are all in the same boat, Lani, Lani, okay! We are all in the same boat, Lani, Lani, okay! Cleopatra gave birth to the great Caesar overnight And Genghis Khan only gave birth to three children And the smith who has a straw, and the straw who has spit And Napoleon in the red air Billions of people live on earth And one of them is you Hey, hey! We are all in the same boat, Lani, Lani, okay! Yes, Cassius Clay has taken you out of your socks And Khrushchev builds with the shoe The wallflower stays sitting forever And the shark still sings the song And the city dreams of a quiet country And the farmer dreams of the city Because that's how it is, everyone just wants to have What the other just has Hey, hey! We are all in the same boat, Lani, Lani, okay! And the Mona Lisa still smiles Because she has long forgotten how to smile And we sing in German Even if you prefer to understand English in Germany today And Alice speaks of emancipation And the father of telepathy And the whole world calls it revolution And together we will teach you Hey, hey! We are all in the same boat, Lani, Lani, okay! We are all in the same boat, Lani, Lani, okay! We are all in the same boat, Lani, Lani, okay!
