Einmal um die Welt von Cro
[Refrain]
Baby bitte mach dir niemehr Sorgen um Geld!
Gib mir nur deine Hand ich kauf dir Morgen die Welt!
Egal wohin du willst wir fliegen um die Welt
Haun' sofort wieder ab, wenn es dir hier nicht gefällt.
[Strophe I:]
Ost, West oder Nord
Habe den Jackpot an Board
Will von hier über London
Direkt nach New York.
Denn ab Heute leb' ich jeden
Tag als ob ich Morgen tot wäre
Laufe durch den Park und werf'
Mit Geld, als ob es Brot wäre. (YEAH)
Nur noch Kaviar, Champagner oder Champus
Baby ich efüll' dir wirklich jeden Wunsch mit Handkuss.
Frühstück in Paris und danach joggen auf Hawai,
Und um das ganze noch zu toppen gehen wir shoppen in LA.
Also pack' dir deine Zahnbürste ein,
Denn ab Heute bist du mehr als an nur einem Ort Daheim.
Mit meinem Babe in der Hand
Und 'nem Safe an der Wand
Können wir tun was wir wollen
Und das Leben ist noch lang....
Also komm!
[Refrain]
[Strophe II:]
Sie will Kreditkarten
Und meine Mietwagen
Sie will Designerschuhe und davon
Ganz schön Viel haben
"MANOLO BLAHNIK, PRADA, GUCCI, und LACOSTE"
Kein Problem dann kauf' ich halt
für deine Schuhe gleich ein ganzes Schloss!
Sie will in Geld baden
Und sie will Pelz tragen
Sie will schnell fahren
Einmal um die Welt fahren.
Sie kann sich kaufen was sie wollte doch nie hatte
Denn ich hab jetzt die American Express und zwar die schwarze,
Also komm...
[Refrain]
Warum will er das ganze Geld ausgeben? Glaubt er, das muss er für sie tun?

Want to Boost Your Salary? Try Learning German

Fluency in foreign tongues may increase your job options — and your pay. Interpreters and translators are among the top five fastest growing occupations
Research from Wharton and LECG Europe found that studying a second language is correlated with about 2% more in annual income. Good. But fluency in German could boost your pay by even more, averaging at least 4%. Sehr gut! RJ Sangosti—The Denver Post/Getty Images
So you think that's a pretty low return? As study author Albert Saiz points out in a recent Freakonomics podcast, for someone making $30,000 annually, 2% amounts to only about $600 more per year. But Robert Lane Greene at The Economist shows that once you factor in compounding, a 2% foreign language increase could mean nearly $70,000 more in savings by retirement. Put that way, it’s not too shabby.
Of course, broad correlations aren’t so helpful if you’re looking for a concrete pay bump in the real world. But there are many specific cases where a second (or third) language could increase your job opportunities and income.
For example, interpreters and translators are among the top five fastest growing occupations, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, with opportunities expected to increase by 46% between 2012 and 2022. And for those who dream of being a real-life Jason Bourne, the C.I.A. loves polyglots.
When it comes to money, members of the U.S. military can earn up to $1,000 more per month if they are proficient in multiple languages.
A foreign language can also amp up your desirability—and therefore your pay—in business or law..., says Charles Volkert, executive director of the legal department of staffing agency Robert Half. Recently, 42% of employers at top law firms surveyed by Volkert’s team saw an increase in legal jobs requiring a second language.
“With so few qualified candidates, there’s a huge demand for professionals who can speak Asian languages, particularly at globalized auto and tech companies,” says Volkert.
If learning a whole new alphabet sounds intimidating, there is good news: Saiz’s study found that the pay premium for learning German was higher than the average, at 4%.
Want to test drive Deutsch ? There are plenty of ways to learn beginner language skills for free.
Duolingo, for example, starts off by teaching you to read, write, and speak basic phrases like “Ich bin ein Junge,” then ramps up difficulty—while giving you opportunities to compete with Facebook friends who are also learning languages.
Next stop might be one of the BBC’s well-reviewed free online courses.
After that, you might want to shell out—either for Berlitz or plane ticket
