Song: Erdowie, Erdowo, Erdogan | extra 3 | NDR

0:02 - 0:04

He’s living in grand style
0:04 - 0:06

Big boss from Bosporus
0:06 - 0:10

A showy place with a thousand rooms, built without permit in a nature preserve
0:10 - 0:13

Press freedom gives him a swollen neck
0:14 - 0:16

That’s why he needs all those scarves
0:20 - 0:22

When a journalist writes a piece
0:23 - 0:25

That Erdogan doesn’t like
0:26 - 0:28

He quickly ends up in jail
0:30 - 0:32

Newspaper offices closed down
0:32 - 0:33

He doesn’t think twice
0:34 - 0:38

With tear gas and water cannons he is riding through the night
0:38 - 0:40

Be nice to him
0:41 - 0:43

Since he’s holding all the cards
0:43 - 0:47

Erdo-how, Erdo-where, Erdogan
0:48 - 0:50

The time is ripe
0:50 - 0:52

For his Great Ottoman Empire
0:52 - 0:56

Erdo-how, Erdo-where, Erdogan
0:58 - 1:00

Equal rights for women
1:01 - 1:03

Beaten up equally
1:03 - 1:07

Istanbul police has dispersed an International Women's Day demonstration by force
1:08 - 1:10

If the election results are off
1:11 - 1:13

He’ll shake them into place
1:17 - 1:19

He loathes the Kurds
1:19 - 1:21

And much rather bombs them
1:21 - 1:25

Than his brothers in faith over at ISIL
1:25 - 1:27

Hand him your money
1:28 - 1:30

He’ll build you a refugee tent
1:30 - 1:34

Erdo-how, Erdo-where, Erdogan
1:35 - 1:37

His country is ripe
1:37 - 1:38

For EU membership
1:38 - 1:40

He doesn’t care for democracy
1:40 - 1:43

Erdogan says goodbye
1:44 - 1:49

And rides off into the sunset
