Swentibold
Clouseau Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Het zomert eeuwig in het land
Waar ik van hou
Hier dansen alle mensen in de straat
Waar ik van hou Kroegen sluiten veel te laat
Da's waar ik zo van hou
De vrouwen zijn hier goed gebouwd
Da's wat me bezighoudt
(Refrein)
Welkom in het land van Swentibold
Welkom in het aards paradijs
Welkom in het land van Swentibold
Welkom in dit feestpaleis
Welkom

Betaal hier met de glimlach
Meer wordt er niet gevraagd
Maar weet you als 't aan mij lag
Dan word de prijs verlaagd
De Swenti's spreken Swentisch
Dat is volstrekt normaal
En wie het niet gewend is
Gebruikt gebarentaal

(Refrein)
Swentibold, Swentibold, Swentibold
Uw droomparadijs
Swentibold, Swentibold, Swentibold
Betaalbare prijs
Swentibold, Swentibold, Swentibold
Uw droomparadijs

Mocht you soms gaan dromen
Over 't land van Swentibold
Vraag dan onze koning
Waar hij Paola vond





(Refrein)
