Lyrics:
Frauen Regier’n Die Welt
Schon in der Schule die Jungs ha’m gelacht
Doch mir hat’s überhaupt nichts ausgemacht
Sie war so süß und ihre Beine so lang
Bin fast ein Jahr in ihren Ballettkurs gegangen
Als ich erfuhr, dass sie auf Umweltschutz steht
Hab ich “nein danke“ auf mein’ Parka genäht
Das hat sie damals alles nicht in’tressiert
Doch seitdem weiß ich wer die Welt regiert
Chorus:
Wie sie geh’n und steh’n
Wie sie dich anseh’n
Und schon öffnen sich Tasche und Herz
Und dann kaufst du ‘n Ring und ‘n Nerz
Ein lasziver Blick
Und schon ändert sich deine Politik
Kein Boss und kein Actionheld
Kein Staat und kein Mafiageld
Frauen regiern die Welt
Alle Register von kokett bis naiv
Sie ha’m als Baby schon den Vater im Griff
Sie geben alles wenn sie irgendwas wollen
Und du beißt auf Granit wenn sie schmollen
Du machst dich lächerlich und lässt dich verhau’n
Damit die Mädels einmal nur rüberschauen
Sie pushen Beckham und stürtzten Clinton
Ohne dafür ‘ne Partei zu gründen
2 x Chorus
About:
Roger Cicero: Swing is his thing!
At the age of 4 he was lifted onto a piano stool – but his protests were successful. Roger Cicero did not want to be a wunderkind. At 10 he discovered the guitar, which was much more to his liking. On long car trips father and son sang songs together by Gilbert O’Sullivan, Errol Garner, Stevie Wonder and Manhattan Transfer, and Roger’s early musical taste developed in this way.
At just 12 he made his first stage appearance (with Helen Vita), at 16 he had his first TV shows with Horst Jankowski and the RIAS dance orchestra. After leaving school he underwent solid musical training: first of all song, piano and guitar at the Hohner conservatoire in Trossingen. In 1991 he studied music at the School of the Arts in Hilversum, majoring in jazz singing. With his club appearances he not only financed his life in Holland but also developed into a charismatic entertainer. Back in Germany he worked first with the Soullounge formation, later on issuing his first CD under his own name and that of the After Hours formation. Other jazz CDs followed (among others with Julia Hülsmann) and Cicero was praised by all the critics, both for the CDs and for his live performances.
Finally, the meeting with songwriters and producers Frank Ramond and Mathias Haß led to his jazz-oriented path curving sharply upwards. With this team he was able to realise a long-held dream: to record a CD with swing music and contemporary German lyrics.
The album was called “Männersachen” and entered the charts in the lee of the fantastic single “Zieh die Schuh aus” just 2 weeks after it was issued at the end of May. And it’s still there. The current status is platinum.
Roger Cicero was ready for the big stage. With his brilliant 11-piece band, under the direction of the pianist Lutz Krajenski, his music partner, he is now taking part in a major tour of Germany. Many of the 33 concerts planned up to now have already been sold out. Cicero is being celebrated by enthusiastic audiences and is enjoying the success to the full.
On 8th March Cicero will be one of the three candidates taking part in the German knockout round for the Eurovision Song Contest. The song he has written especially for this occasion is called “Frauen regier’n die Welt” (“Women rule the world”). This does not refer so much to the power initiative by Angie, Hillary, Ségolène & Co – it is more a deep-seated recognition, internalised over generations but still accepted with a twinkle in the eyes, that only an out-and-out macho does not want to accept. And Roger Cicero is definitively not a macho.
