And now, to entertain you in between working out all those names in German, here's an "interestingly translated" WSH words video for Müssen nur wollen ....
Only have to want it
We only have to want it
We only have to want it
We only have to
Only have to want it
We only have to want it
We only have to want it
We only have to
Do I always have to do what I am able to
One hand carries the world,
the other offers drinks
I can perform will all ten feet in twenty doors
And with the eleventh perform ballets in the nose
But if I was able to do what I want only I'd want nothing
But I know that everybody should want something
We can do everything exactly like those wonderfully
Trained monkeys, we only have to want it
Do I always have to do what I am able to
One hand in the stars
The other at on butt of the person next to me
This is the country of limited possibilities
We can ride horses without legs backwards
We can widen everything that is too narrow
with the percussion drill
Can be happy and yet chief enterprises
