[Verse 1]
Rüdiger stands in the rain and the snow
Collector of autographs
Names upon photographs
Faces of people who everyone knows

[Verse 2]
Rüdiger lives in a place on his own
Briefcase and spectacles
Strange and respectable
He knows the meaning of being alone

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh Rüdiger
Rüdiger
Rüdi
Oh, Rüdiger

[Verse 3]
Rüdiger works as a clerk in the town
Music or politics
Rüdiger gets his kicks
He gets information then he comes around

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh Rüdiger
Rüdiger
Rüdi
Oh, Rüdiger
[Verse 4]
Rüdiger waits at the hall in Berlin
He waits there all night
Security's tight
And they know who he is but they don't let him in

[Verse 5]
Rüdiger waits in the dark by the stair
His fingers are shaking
His feet they are aching
But your name's in the paper so Rüdiger's there

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh Rüdiger
Rüdiger
Rüdi
Oh, Rüdiger

Rüdiger
Rüdiger
Rüdi
Oh, Rüdiger
