[Lyric] In the land of Cockaigne
In memory of Heinrich Mann and the wonderful Medieval fable
In the land of Cockaigne
Where lazy men lived
Wheat, Women and Wine
Where lazy men thrust and thrive
Everyone is horrendously happy
A life of incredulously luxury
It’s raining cheese down the sky
Everyone is euphorically miserable
The sun never sets in Cockaigne
In the land of Cockaigne
Where lazy men partied
Bloomers, Booze and Boobs
Where lazy men prosper and chill
Everyone is horrendously jolly
Wallets obesely fat belly full
It’s raining red down the sky
Everyone is euphorically miserable
The barrel never dries in Cockaigne
Choirs
Paese della Cuccagna!
Let’s hop to Luilekkerland!
País de Cucaña!
Let’s hop to Schlaraffenland!
Everyone is joyfully depressed
Squashed dreams in the crowded room
Bread, Circus and Chicks
Where lonely man party still
In the land of Cockaigne
Where lazy men dreamed
In the morning he wakes up
Drags his lazy arse to plough and work
For sour dough, no butter
