Lyrics

Last night in your window, sitting, I saw you Adolf, I know the serious virgin does adore you Won't you come back home tonight? Can't you see everything's going to be all right?

Oh Adolf, don't you say you've said goodbye Don't say you've said goodbye now Don't say you've said goodbye

Your suit of chrome, it once Shined so bright She told me you were Out of sight The serious virgin She waits for you tonight

Oh, don't say you've said goodbye now Don't say you've said goodbye Adolf, don't say you've said goodbye
