When I was young,
It seemed like life was so wonderful,
a miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical
And all the birds in the trees
Well they'd be singing so happily,
So joyfully
Oh playfully watching me

Good morning!
Yeaaaaaah!
One, two... one, two, three, four!
Pump it up!

Aaaah! I ramp, me no ramp,
me no skin,
me no play, yeah
When me chant 'pon the microphone
And me say with the DJ
Junglists in the place
Junglists on the case
Scooter are you Readyyy?

When I was young
It seemed like life was so wonderful,
a miracle, oh it was beautiful magical
And all the birds in the trees
well they'd be singing so happily
So joyfully,
oh playfully watching me

Yeah!

When I was young
It seemed like life was so wonderful
A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical
and all the birds in the trees
Well they'd be singing so happily
So joyfully
Oh playfully watching me

Come on!

Love, peace and unity
Siberia, the place to be
The K The L The F and the ology
Halleluja!

One, two... one, two, three, yeah!
Rough!
Aah!
Here we go!

When I was young
It seemed like life was so wonderful
A miracle ,oh it was beautiful, magical
and all the birds in the trees
well they'd be singing so happily
So joyfully
Oh playfully watching me

Stand up!
Once again!
We're gettin' jiggy!
Siberiaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Yeah!
Goodbye!

    OK, so what does it mean to cover only the first verse of this song?

    Assuming you don't want to just say "They missed the point" or "They missed the point on purpose", it means they're telling you not to let society grind all the childlike questions out of you and try to recover them later, but to stay childlike and innocent. You can always hang out with the freaks instead of fitting in.

    To which Supertramp would say, "That's all well and good, but we need adults who understand the system to question it from the inside, or nothing will ever change."

    To which Scooter would say, "Um… Pump it up! Aiii!"

    But this is apparently the lyrics to the version without the added Scooter rants.

    Anyway, the reason this is a cover (like "Rebel Yell") rather than a partial cover (like "Nessaja") is that they don't add any new riffs or changes, they just (radically) rearrange the existing ones. So the music credit is 100% to Davies and Hodgson, instead of Davies and Hodgson and Baxxter, Thiele, and Jordan. (On the versions with the added ranting, the lyrics are credited to Davies and Hodgson and "h.p. baxxter a.k.a the mic enforcer", but the music is still Davies and Hodgson.)
