by Kurt Weill (1900 - 1950)

Berlin im Licht
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Und zum Spazierengehn
genügt das Sonnenlicht.
Doch um die Stadt Berlin zu sehn,
genügt die Sonne nicht,
das ist kein lauschiges Plätzchen,
das ist 'ne ziemliche Stadt.
Damit man da alles gut sehen kann,
da braucht man schon einige Watt.
Na wat denn? Na wat denn?
Was ist das für 'ne Stadt denn?

Komm, mach mal Licht,
damit man sehn kann, ob was da ist,
komm, mach mal Licht,
und rede nun mal nicht.
Komm, mach mal Licht,
dann wollen wir doch auch mal sehen,
ob da 'ne Sache ist: Berlin im Licht.
