lyrics

-Intro-
Ooooh Klaus, you’re as quiet as a mouse
Never seen a bigger man
Which such mild manners and
When you walk your Charlie way
Everybody they say hey
it’s Klaus and he’s coming your way
it’s Klaus and he’s coming your way
But not today

Top of the hill on a windy day
Bottom of a deep deep deep dark lane
You know it’s Klaus
Some say he walks twenty miles a day
You better watch out because he’ll make you pay
It’s your money or your house
Shines his lights down corridors,
Stamps his feet on the wooden boards,
You know hows coming and it’s Klaus.

- pre-chorus -
You’re quiet as a garden gnome,
Fast as a fox who found his way home
Klaus there is one thing you see
You’re too nice for job in security
Klaus there is one thing you see
You’re too nice for job in security, yeah

Ooooh Klaus, you’re as quiet as a mouse
Never seen a bigger man
Which such mild manners and
When you walk your Charlie way
Everybody they say hey
it’s Klaus and he’s coming your way
Not out, but he’s here to say
Be on your way

-solo-

Ooooh Klaus, you’re as quiet as a mouse
Never seen a bigger man
Which such mild manners and
When you walk your Charlie way
Everybody they say hey
it’s Klaus and he’s coming your way
Understands more than he will say
But not today

So alone you sit the night away
Studying through all hours till day
You know its Klaus
When all is silent, no disarray
No darken doors, no broken pains
You know who’s coming and its Klaus.

-pre-chorus-
You’re quiet as a garden gnome,
Fast as a fox who found his way home
Klaus there is one thing you see
You’re too nice for job in security
Klaus there is one thing you see
You’re too nice for job in security, yeah

-Chorus-
Ooooh Klaus, you’re as quiet as a mouse
Never seen a bigger man
Which such mild manners and
When you walk your Charlie way
Everybody they say hey
it’s Klaus and he’s coming your way
it’s Klaus and he’s coming your way
But not today
