Mrs. Caroline Robinson
Fliegt nur mit einem Luftballon
Denn sie hat den Besen satt
Als Nobelhexe dieser Stadt
Mrs. Caroline Robinson
Liebt Telepathie und Television
Schwefel, Krach, Chanel und Bach
Mode macht sie schwach

Wenn sie will, ist es still
Nur die Turmuhr schlägt
Mitternacht, die Sonne lacht
Der Mond schnarcht unentwegt

Ein Wunder ist geschehen
Und niemand kann verstehen
Warum, weshalb, wieso
Es ist heut’ Hexenshow

Mrs. Caroline Robinson
Ist für Männer die Sensation
Sex-Appeal statt Besenstiel
Seit sie von dem Besen fiel

Mrs. Caroline Robinson
Liebt Telepathie und Television
Schwefel, Krach, Chanel und Bach
Mode macht sie schwach

Wenn ein Hund ohne Grund
Einmal Zeitung liest
Ungeniert die Frau studiert
Glaube, was du siehst

Ein Wunder ist geschehen
Und niemand kann verstehen
Warum, weshalb, wieso
Es ist heut’ Hexenshow

Mrs. Caroline Robinson
Fliegt nur mit einem Luftballon
Denn sie hat den Besen satt
Als Nobelhexe dieser Stadt

Mrs. Caroline Robinson
Liebt Telepathie und Television
Schwefel, Krach, Chanel und Bach
Mode macht sie schwach

Mrs. Caroline Robinson
Ist für Männer die Sensation
Sex-Appeal statt Besenstiel
Seit sie von dem Besen fiel

Mrs. Caroline Robinson
Liebt Telepathie und Television
Schwefel, Krach, Chanel und Bach
Mode macht sie schwach

Mrs. Caroline Robinson
Only flies with a balloon
Because she’s tired of her broom
As top-witch of this town
Mrs. Caroline Robinson
Likes telepathy and television
Sulphur, bang, Chanel and Bach
Fashion makes her weak

If she wants it, everything is still
Only the tower clock ticks
Midnight, the sun laughs
The moon snores without stopping

A miracle has happened
And no one understands
Why, for what, how’s that
Today it’s witch show

Mrs. Caroline Robinson
Is a sensation for men
Sex appeal instead of the broomstick
Ever since she dropped off her broom

Mrs. Caroline Robinson
Likes telepathy and television
Sulphur, bang, Chanel and Bach
Fashion makes her weak

When a dog without a cause
Reads the paper
And studies the women without shame
Believe what you see

A miracle has happened
And no one understands
Why, for what, how’s that
Today it’s witch show

Mrs. Caroline Robinson
Only flies with a balloon
Because she’s tired of her broom
As top-witch of this town

Mrs. Caroline Robinson
Likes telepathy and television
Sulphur, bang, Chanel and Bach
Fashion makes her weak

Mrs. Caroline Robinson
Is a sensation for men
Sex appeal instead of the broomstick
Ever since she dropped off her broom

Mrs. Caroline Robinson
Likes telepathy and television
Sulphur, bang, Chanel and Bach
Fashion makes her weak
