The night is pleasantly cool,
While I'm walking around the houses
And I want to experience something.
Just a few liters of petrol,
That's where my little game begins,
The wind takes care of the rest.
Sometimes a house and sometimes a factory,
We'll see what happens,
You're not always lucky.
Good evening, dear friends!
Have I introduced myself yet?
I'm the matchstick man.
And if you're polite to me,
I'll look too over to your place.
I am the matchstick man.
It's the tone of the sirens,
That gives me such great joy,
That I love so much.
My children, my family,
Oh, If you knew
Who I really am,
You would be so proud of me.
Good evening, dear friends!
Have I introduced myself yet?
I'm the matchstick man.
And if you're polite to me,
I'll look too over to you.
I am the matchstick man.
