lyrics

Do vipers sting do vipers bite
If they bite with all their might
Do they do they sting
Or do they do they bite
Alright they bite if they bite with all their might
And I am I Marguerite Ida or am I Helena Annabel
Am I Marguerite Ida or am I Helena Annabel
Very well oh very well
Am I Marguerite Ida very well am I Helena Annabel

Bin ich gebissen bin ich gestochen bin ich gerettet bin ich verloren
Bin ich gebissen bin ich gestochen bin ich gerettet bin ich verloren
Do vipers sting do vipers bite if they bite with all their might
Oder oder
Bin ich gebissen
Will he tell
Will he tell that I am Marguerite Ida that I am Helena Annabel
Will he tell
And then she stops again
And the bite might he make it a bite.
Doctor Faustus a queer name
Might he make it a bite
An so she disapears.
