Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Zwei, drei, vier, one, two, three
It's easy to see, but it's not that I don't care, so
'Cause I hear it all the time, but they never let you know
On the TV and the radio
She was young, her heart was pure
But every night as bright she got
She said, "Sugar's sweet, you got me rappin' to the beat"
Then I knew that she was hot
She was singin'
[Verse 2]
Don't turn around, oh, uh-oh (Yeah, yeah)
Der Kommissar's in town, whoa, uh-oh
You're in his eye and you'll know why
The more you live, the faster you will die
Alles klar, Herr Kommissar?
[Verse 3]
She said "Babe, you know, I miss Jill and Joe
And all my funky friends"
But my street understanding was just enough
To know what she really meant
And I got to thinking while she was talking
And I know she told the story
Of those special places that she goes
When she rides with the others in the subway
Singin'
[Verse 4]
Don't turn around, oh, uh-oh (Yeah, yeah)
Der Kommissar's in town, whoa, uh-oh
And if he talks to you, and you don't know why
You say your life is gonna make you die
Alles klar, Herr Kommissar?
[Verse 5]
Cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha
Cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha
[Verse 6]
Well, we meet Jill and Joe, and brother Herr
With the whole cool gang and, oh
They're rappin' here, they're rappin' there
But she's climbin' on the wall
It's a clear case, Herr Kommissar
'Cause all the children know
They were  slidin' down into the valley
They were all slippin' on the same snow, hear the children
[Verse 7]
Don't turn around, oh, uh-oh (Yeah, yeah)
Der Kommissar's in town, whoa, uh-oh
He's got the power
And you're so weak
And your frustration will not let you speak
La, la, la, la, la, la
[Verse 8]
Don't turn around, oh, uh-oh (Yeah, yeah)
Der Kommissar's in town, whoa, uh-oh
And if he talks to you, then you'll know why
The more you live, the faster you will die
[Verse 9]
Don't turn around, oh, uh-oh (Yeah, yeah)
Der Kommissar's in town, whoa, uh-oh
Don't turn around, oh, uh-oh (Yeah, yeah)
Der Kommissar's in town, whoa uh-oh (Alles klar, Herr Kommissar?)
[Verse 10]
Don't turn around, oh, uh-oh (Yeah, yeah)
Der Kommissar's in town, whoa, uh-oh
Don't turn around, oh, uh-oh (Yeah, yeah)
Der Kommissar's in town, whoa, uh-oh
[Verse 11]
Don't turn around, oh, uh-oh (Yeah, yeah)
Der Kommissar's in town, whoa, uh-oh
Don't turn around, oh, uh-oh (Yeah, yeah)
Der Kommissar's in town, whoa, uh-oh
