congratulations let's make the lamp of honor
foreign
thanks you beat me square and fair it's fair and square
and you gave me the chance i wanted your best otherwise what is the point
is that your girlfriend yes wow she's very pretty thank you
do they have any ugly girls in germany
they prefer to keep them out of sight there are a lot of things they want to keep hidden
you think i'm joking
i love my country but it's no secret my government is going insane
they don't bother to hide don't even think they are ashamed
a few nights ago they sent a girl to my room to wish me luck she wanted to sleep with me
governor davies sent me a telegram in a case of coca-cola i should immigrate no
no this girl she wanted to get pregnant
i think she was ordered to get pregnant
i suppose i should be flattered
i think all things considered you're actually better off in america
yeah i don't
i don't know if there's much difference deep down
are you gonna get in any trouble
you made quite a scene today they want to use us to prove something to the world i'm
happy to show them they're wrong believe me i would have preferred to beat you but
it but it wouldn't have been for them if they want to make these games a weapon they can't
complain when it's used against them maybe now they see how stupid it was to even try
you entered for one more event right uh yeah uh 200 meters i very much hope you win
not to prove anything to any government
just to make me feel a little bad about losing to you
