Today I have to ask you to be patient. I live in Switzerland and our local language is Swiss German, so our music tends to be with German texts. There was a Austrian singer, Udo Jürgens and I quite liked his music and songs. He was very well known, but unfortuately passed away a couple of years ago.
One of his well known songs was entitled, “Aber bitte mit Sahne”. Translated it would be “but with cream please” and tells of the golden oldies, usually ladies, that often meet in their favourite cake shop to enjoy the pleasures of a doughnut, black forest cherry cake, or perhaps an apple tart, but always with cream. I found this song on YouTube, the original from Udo Jürgens, but they did it quite clever. The German and the english words appear as he sings, so enjoy it. Those ladies were probably quite plump, but they enjoyed their cakes and cream, as I do. Just ate the last piece of Mr. Swiss famous apple tart, but with whipped cream of course. And I do not weight one gramme more than this morning. That is probably because of the exercise I have, in my wheelchair with the steering. My right hand often gets exhausted with the strain.
Hilarious. Does Mr Swiss make Bee Sting cakes too?

No, you buy them. It looks like a mega hamburger with a soft sweet pastry and in the middle there is a custard cream. I quite like them, but you really have to buy one in a good cake shop. there are too many cheap versions.

A novel idea for a song. Loved the melody. Thanks for sharing. Specially for the English sub titles.

He had some good songs and once won the Eurovision song contest. He wrote many himself.

He wasn’t a German, he was an Austrian. [end of pedant mode] And I loved his funny lyrics. But mostly he was known for Shmaltz.

Yes, of course he was, my husband even has the book on his life. Thanks for the correction. And he was also one of my favourites
