Sieht man um sich, was passiert,
Wohin es geht oder auch nicht,
Hilft nur eines
Schampus Kaviar, Noblesse im Gesicht.
Let's deca-dance in jedem Fall
Die Smokingträger überall 
Denn nobel geht die Welt zugrund'
Ob dieser oder jener Stund.

Morbidity for you and me
Die Titanic sinkt in Panik
Ganz allanig
Aber fesch
Mit all den Millionen cash
Und all der teuren Wäsch'

Die Titanic sinkt in Panik
Ganz allanig
Aber gut
Denn wer sich retten tut
Der hat zum Untergang kan Mut

Decadence for you and me, decadence

In jedem Fall entscheid' ich mich,
Egal, ob nobel oder nicht,
Besser neureich sein als nie reich sein
Und in Gesellschaft nicht allein.
Let's decadence at all events,
Im Walzerschritt zum letzen Tritt,
Denn wer den Walzer richtig tritt,
Der is auch für den Abgang fit.

Morbidity for you and me

Die Titanic sinkt in Panik
Ganz allanig
Aber fesch
Mit all den Millionen cash
Und all der teuren Wäsch'

Die Titanic sinkt in Panik
Ganz allanig
Aber gut
Denn wer sich retten tut
Der hat zum Untergang kan Mut
