Was brauch' ich roten Mohn? Hollari, hollari, hollaro Und wenn ein Bösewicht Was Ungezogenes spricht Dann hol' ich meinen Kaktus Und der sticht, sticht, sticht Mein kleiner grüner Kaktus Steht draußen am Balkon Hollari, hollari, hollaro Heute um viere Klopft's an die Türe Nanu, Besuch so früh am Tage? Es war Herr Krause Vom Nachbarhause Er sagt: „Verzeihen Sie, wenn ich frage... Sie haben doch einen Kaktus Da draußen am Balkon?" Hollari, hollari, hollaro "Der fiel soeben runter Was halten Sie davon?" Hollari, hollari, hollaro "Er fiel mir aufs Gesicht Ob S's glauben oder nicht Dann weiß ich, dass ihr kleiner grüner Kaktus sticht! Bewahren Sie Ihren Kaktus Gefälligst anderswo!" Hollari, hollari, hollaro About Max Raabe Live in Berlin On a Sunday evening in August in the Berliner Waldbühne around 20,000 people with rain gear and blankets held thousands of colorful umbrellas while listening to Max Raabe and his Palast Orchester’s hits of the 1920s and 30s. As the most exquisite interpreter of these tunes, Max Raabe and his Palast Orchester play them with such precision, jovial vitality and utter perfection that the 80-year-old songs sound as fresh and lively as they did when first performed. They therefore aren’t simply remakes, but wonderful new interpretations which reveal the timeless modernity of these brilliant works. The people of Berlin have had to wait one and a half years for the return of their Palast Orchester. The tour in which they performed for excited audiences all over the world included concerts in New York, Shanghai, Tokyo, Rome, Paris and Moscow.
