Ann the Twen
(Karsten Ries & Zippo Zimmermann)

Back in 1971
A baby child was born.
She was named »Ann« and pretty soon
She became well known.
Mum and Dad
Delightful and glad
Listened to her daughter singing (and she sang:)

Ann the Twen, Ann the Twen
I'm gonna be a big girl, wait until then.
Ann the Twen, Ann the Twen
Celebrates her birthday for the 20th time again.

Years have come and years have gone.
Ann grew up to the prettiest girl in town.
The smile of her eyes and the smell of her hair
Drove many admirers into despair.
Old and young walk hand in hand
And sing this song for Ann the Twen (and they're singing:)

Ann the Twen, Ann the Twen
She's gonna be a big girl, wait until then.
Ann the Twen, Ann the Twen
Celebrates her birthday for the 20th time again

Life goes on for another twenty years.
Ann, be strong, don't you fear.

Ann the Twen, Ann the Twen
I'm gonna be a big girl, wait until then.
Ann the Twen, Ann the Twen
Celebrates her birthday for the 20th time again.
