Doktor Svans
Ørkenens Sønner Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Jeg er doktor Svans
Men mit fornavn er Hans (h-h-haaans)
Jeg er kendt over alt som den dygtige doktor
Er du syg, er du bleg (åh nej så bleg)
Skal du ringe til mig (han er så sej)
For så kommer jeg flyv'ne i min helikopter
Men efter en uge med sygdom og smerte (av av av)
Så dyrker jeg trængen der bor i mit hjeerte

Så blir Hans til en trans
(doktor Svans, doktor Svans)

Og jeg kører med klatten i g-streg og sort hofteholder
(så blir Hans til en trans, doktor Svans, doktor Svans, og han kører med klatten

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Ørkenens Sønner's song Doktor Svans are about a character named Doktor Svans who is known for his medical expertise. He is always ready to help those who are sick or in need of medical attention. Should someone fall ill or become pale, they know to call him and he will fly over in his helicopter to assist them.

However, after a week of dealing with sickness and pain, Doktor Svans indulges in his own desires that are kept within his heart. He transforms from Hans to a transvestite and dons a black g-string and a garter belt. Despite being a doctor, he enjoys pushing the envelope and doing things that may be seen as unconventional.

The lyrics highlight the idea that while people may have different sides to their personalities, they often keep them hidden until the appropriate moment presents itself. Furthermore, it shows that society often expects certain people to behave in a certain way, and when they behave outside of these expectations, it can be viewed as shocking or scandalous.
