The Deborah Harry song catalog you find on this page was compiled by me, the webmaster, with the help of my personal record collection, booklets, biographies, setlists, ASCAP, the LoC (Library of Congress), articles and (live) bootlegs. It's my goal to create a page which features Deborah's complete musical body of work, no matter if Deborah was in any way musically involved herself or whether she contributed her own lyrics to a project. In order to keep up the standard of this page and to make it grow you can help by submitting song titles and/or information which are missing on this site. Every contribution is greatly appreciated. Official song lyrics were taken from booklets. I transcribed those songs myself where no official lyrics were available (with no guarantee for their accuracy). I apologize for possible errors and will gladly take corrections. I kindly ask you not to copy any of these lyrics from this page.
All song pages include links to the albums, singles and/or live albums which they were released on. Best Ofs and soundtracks were only listed if there is a special mix available on the record or the song title itself was previously unreleased.

GERMAN KID

Half American

This is Dee Dee King on the mike
150 pounds of dynamite
The guy with the rhyme about the pyramid
Bet you didn't know I was a German kid

Und ich finde es gut wenn Leute lacht
Ich habe die Energie
Ich habe die Kraft
Ein huebsches Maedchen gibt mir ein Kuss
Kein Geld für den Taxi
Nehm den Bus
Ich bin der König von mein Haus
Wenn die Kinder sind zu laut schrei ich geh raus

[translation:
And I like it when people laugh
I have the energy
I have the power
A beautiful girl gives me a kiss
No money for a taxi
I take the bus instead
I'm the king of my house
When the kids are too noisy I scream "Get out!"]

Well I used to be a German kid standin' on the street with two cents in my pocket and nothin' to eat
Did you ever see a glider soaring in the wind
Bet you didn't know I'm half German
I'm doin' rap not Beethoven
I'm doin' rap
And I've just begun

Es ist mir egal was Du sagst
Ich mach eine Party jeden Tag
Ich hab immer sehr viel Glück
Dee Dee King ist nicht verrückt

[translation:
I don't care what you say
I have a party every day
I'm always very lucky
Dee Dee King is not crazy]

Half American
Half German
Half American
Half German

You wouldn't believe the places I've been
It's pretty cool to be half German
Slap me five
Gimme some skin
I used to live in Berlin

Ich lese die Zeitung jeden Tag
Was is das für Musik die Eltern frag
Jetzt habe ich genug gesagt
Auf Wiedersehen
Gute Nacht
Ich finde es gut wenn Leute lacht
Lacht

[translation:
I read the papers every day
'What kind of music is that", the parents ask
I've said enough now
Good-bye
Good night
I like it when people laugh
Laugh]
