(Dr. Dobermann)
(Do-do-do-do-do-do dr. Dobermann)
(Dr. Dobermann)
(Do-do-do-do-do-do-do dr. Dobermann)
La tua casa sta in collina, Dr. Dobermann
Your house is on the hill, Dr. Dobermann
Sei milioni al metro quadro
Six million a square meter
E tua moglie vive come una regina
And your wife lives like a queen
Anche se vi vedete di rado
Even if you see each other rarely
Lei va a letto quasi sempre di mattina
She goes to bed almost always in the morning
Che tu ti sei già alzato
While you've already gotten up
Qual è il prezzo, vale il prezzo, Dr. Dobermann?
What's the price, is it worth the price, Dr. Dobermann?
Il prezzo che va pagato
The price that must be paid
Per le cose che ti secca fare in pubblico
For the things that annoy you to do in public
Ma ti rendono bene in privato
But they suit you well in private
Tanti soldi e poche tasse e non c'è scandalo
So much money and few taxes, and there's no scandal
Non è nemmeno peccato
It's not even a sin
È la vita il tuo mestiere Dr. Dobermann
It's life, your profession, Dr. Dobermann
Il tuo mestiere di mago
Your trade as a magician
Dr. Dobermann
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do dr. Dobermann
Dr. Dobermann
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do dr. Dobermann
La tua tana sta in collina, Dr. Dobermann
Your den is on the hill, Dr. Dobermann
Sei milioni al metro quadro
Six million per square meter
E tua moglie sembra proprio una regina
And your wife truly looks like a queen
Però è la moglie di un ladro
But she's the wife of a thief
Se sei buono andrai all'inferno, Dr. Dobermann
If you're good, you'll go to hell, Dr. Dobermann
Ti stanno già a aspettare
They're already waiting for you
C'è il tuo nome nell'elenco, puoi scommetterci
Your name's on the list, you can bet on it
Prova a bussare
Try knocking
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do dr. Dobermann
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do dr. Dobermann
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do dr. Dobermann
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do dr. Dobermann
Dobermann
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do dr. Dobermann
Dr. Dobermann
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do dr. Dobermann
