@zott345 that is true, but I think Tom Waits is trying to say "Komme nicht zu spät", which means do not come too late. Most English/Americans have trouble pronouncing the German "ch"
I assume he does, because he also has trouble with the "ü" in pünktlich.
@MadaraXIII That's funny, because when I hear this, I think of a group of mental patients in a psychiatric ward dancing like they're in a Michael Jackson video.
One of my favorites by Tom Waits.

@pacali ....you are right, he means komme nicht zu spät...because he adds before "sei pünktlich..."
"sei pünktlich, komme nicht zu spät" translated it means:
=
be punctually, don't be late
but most of it is nonsense and not even german i guess he makes fun of'em ;)
yeah i do know german... ;) ..if any doubts......i happen to live in a country since i was born where german is one of the main languages^^

Mr. Waits is a lot like a fine bottle of Scotch- definitely an acquired taste, highly intoxicating, and potentially hazardous to your health.

It's official. Whenever I hear this song I'm going to imagine Zombie Nazis dancing to this.

I can never resist the urge to dance when I hear this lovely tune.
And also, I can never think of anything else other than dancing Nazis.
Go figure. Still love it!
