Or "ICH BIN CB FUNKER". Believe it or not I found this on eBay. Apparently the CB craze of the 70's wasn't unique to the US. Down below are the German lyrics translated to English courtesy of Google. Enjoy... 
I've had a
brand new radio for a couple of weeks, it's
the very latest craze
under my dashboard.
And if I
stare through the windshield in my car
and the journey becomes too long for me,
then I simply switch my CB radio
to receive.
"QRX - s ** y Hexy, please come!" -
"Yes, she can hear!" -
"Put on the potatoes,
Dad comes in a continuous run. Ha ha!"
I am a CB radio operator on channel four, mobile station, so
I am always ready to receive and
speak with my microphone.
And when I turn the buttons
and I'm near you,
yes, then I have a clear tone too.
"Black widow here. I'm really QRV!" -
"Where's your QTR?" -
"This is my bride, get away,
otherwise I'll pinch off an asparagus for you!"
It was already dark and I was driving
the arterial road 'home'
when all
the brake lights of the cars went on and off in front of me .
And then I saw them all
in the radar mouse trap,
and the cops just laughed.
And then I let loose
a warning over the radio
"QRX to everyone! QRX! Black
ice at the train station,
snowmen with white hats!" -
"Stay out of there!" -
"Who are you then?" -
"This is where the police speak!"
I am a CB radio operator on channel four, mobile station, so
I am always ready to receive and
speak with my microphone.
And when I turn the buttons
and I'm near you,
yes, then I have a clear tone too.
"Hey, do you have Schalz on the antenna?
Someone wants to come in!" -
"Shut up your greengrocer's shop, otherwise your
ears will get hot, you slip radio operator!"
Hey, I'm almost knocked off my chair,
and my stomach is feeling sick
when suddenly an emergency call comes in
from my own wife:
"QRX! Help! There are burglars in the house!" -
"What? Where?" -
"Müllerstrasse 4!" -
"Come on, guys, let's go!" -
"Hey, honey, this is your husband speaking!
I'll be right there!" -
"Come on quickly, please!" -
"Hey, k ** pel, take your time!
There are already thirty cars here!" -
"Man, great!" -
"We have the bastard!"

(Police come with screeching tires.)
"Ah, the gentlemen from the
police are already there.
But this time we CB radio operator
was a bit faster. Ha ha ha!"
