The Lyrics
Things not to do in Germany as a tourist...
Things not to do,
In Germany,
Despite laws that are quite silly
No pillow fights, bud
Face assault charges if you do,
And drilling on Sunday is illegal too!
Things not to do,
In Germany,
Talking about war make Krauts angry
Bicycle Lane walking, nuts!
A ticket issued to you,
Stopped on Autobahn is also taboo!
Things not to do,
In Germany,
Enter a home with shoes on feet
Non-punctional grudge,
Drink without toasting- shame on you,
Germany has just so many rules!
Things not to do,
In Germany,
Use formal Du instead of Sie
Forget your lunch,
Strike an animal too,
Germans won't forgive you, fool!
In Germany,
Despite laws that are quite silly
No pillow fights, bud
Face assault charges if you do,
And drilling on Sunday is illegal too!
Things not to do,
In Germany,
Talking about war make Krauts angry
Bicycle Lane walking, nuts!
A ticket issued to you,
Stopped on Autobahn is also taboo!
Things not to do,
In Germany,
Enter a home with shoes on feet
Non-punctional grudge,
Drink without toasting- shame on you,
Germany has just so many rules!
Things not to do,

Use formal Du instead of Sie
Forget your lunch,
Strike an animal too,
Germans won't forgive you, fool!

feeding you snail is something not to do in Germany! and... making a sandwich! and lighting candles! and drinking water! and calling your friends! and karate chopping the TV! and shooting the breeze with the mailman! and falling asleep... 5's
Thanks Jon... and oh, don't sing the original national anthem. It's not illegal (written before the Third Reich), but is frowned upon.
My parents are actually going to Germany tomorrow, maybe I should print this out for them :-) 5's
John, this is just the short list ;-)
