When I Was a Kid

Click to see the original lyrics (German)

When I was a kid, there was no internet

There was no screen next to my bed

The telephone had a cable

And when I wanted to watch TV, I had to ask

The mail was yellow and no one knew DHL1

Everything was so slow, or at least not so fast

When I was a kid, there was no Insta

But every day at 3 there was RTL 22

When I was a kid, there was no Insta

But every day at 3 there was RTL 2

When I was a kid, Linda de Mol3 was

A famous woman, yup

It wasn't all great then

ICQ4 was pretty nice

Before, the fields were green, and the police5 too

When I was a kid, there was no Insta

But every day at 3 there was RTL 2

When I was a kid, there was no Insta

But every day at 3 there was RTL 2

[Trumpet solo]

(Da-da, da-da)
