My Motorhome Is Full!
Complete English translation of the German song text.
A funny road-trip song for children: more and more animal friends want to join the motorhome, until a trailer makes room for everyone.
Chorus:
My motorhome is full
It is bursting at the seams
My motorhome is full
We will be late
The doors will stay closed
No one else can come in
Please be quiet at last
Or I will drive alone today
Verse 1
The hamster wants to come in
Luckily he is so small
Maybe there is still a little place
Right in the corner at the back
The hamster still fits inside
He squeezes himself in
Chorus:
My motorhome is full
It is bursting at the seams
My motorhome is full
We will be late
The doors will stay closed
No one else can come in
Please be quiet at last
Or I will drive alone today
Verse 2
The sheep wants to come in now
It starts to bleat out loud
So we quickly make some room
It fits better than we thought
The sheep still fits inside
It squeezes itself in
Chorus:
My motorhome is full
It is bursting at the seams
My motorhome is full
We will be late
The doors will stay closed
No one else can come in
Please be quiet at last
Or I will drive alone today
Verse 3
Now the big cow comes along
She is at the door in no time
The cow has pointed horns
That makes her look very fine
So she is allowed to come in
Luckily, she is the only one
Chorus:
My motorhome is full
It is bursting at the seams
My motorhome is full
We will be late
The doors will stay closed
No one else can come in
Please be quiet at last
Or I will drive alone today
Verse 4
Last comes the elephant
Now things get interesting
Its trunk is very long
But wonderfully elegant
It still does not fit inside
And then it starts to cry
Bridge
Oh no, oh no
The motorhome is full
Oh no, oh no
The motorhome is full
No one else can fit inside
No one can fit in here
Oh no, oh no
No one can fit inside
Verse 5
The fox has an idea
Now he knows what to do
The motorhome needs a trailer
Then the motorhome is longer
The elephant can come along
Now everyone sings along
Chorus:
My motorhome is full
It is bursting at the seams
My motorhome is full
We will be late
The doors will stay closed
No one else can come in
Please be quiet at last
Or I will drive alone today
Outro
Actually, everyone fits inside
Actually, everyone fits inside
Actually, everyone fits inside
Actually, everyone fits inside
Sing-along tips
- Hold an imaginary steering wheel and turn it to the beat during the chorus.
- Use a different movement for each animal, from a tiny hamster to a long elephant trunk.
- Put your hands on your cheeks for “Oh no, oh no” and clap together when everyone sings along.
