Sing the Oscar Mayer Wiener Song
auf Deutsch!!!

Aided by AltaVista's Babelfish Translation Page, I have translated the Oscar Mayer Wiener Song into German! Oh, what fond memories I have of marching down the street, twirling my baton, and singing the Oscar Mayer Wiener song! Errrr, wait a minute! Was that my memory or a memory of the old commercials?...

Oh, I wish I were an Oscar Mayer Wiener
That is what I truly want to be
Because if I were an Oscar Mayer Wiener
Everyone would be in love with me!
Oh, wünsche ich, daß ich ein Wiener Würstchen Oscar Mayer war,
Das ist, was ich wirklich sein wünsche,
Weil, wenn ich ein Wiener Würstchen Oscar Mayer war,
Jeder in der Liebe mit mir sein!
