Het is hier binnen beter dan buiten Deurzakkers

Refrein:
Het is hier binnen beter dan buiten
We dansen door totdat ze gaan sluiten
Er gaat toch niks boven ‘n feestje
Kom op daar gaat ie nog ‘n keer
Het is hier binnen beter dan buiten

We dansen door totdat ze gaan sluiten
Voor ons geen huisje boompje beestje
Dat zien we morgen dan wel weer

Ohohoho
Ai jai jai jai jai jai jai
Ohohoho
Ai jai jai jai jai jai jai

Vers 1:
We zaten vorig weekend gezellig voor de buis
Pantoffels aan, de koffie klaar, gewoon ‘n avond thuis
En om ‘n uur of tien

‘N straatje om nog met z’n twee

Overall Meaning

Deurzakkers' song "Het is hier binnen beter dan buiten" (It's better inside than outside) is an upbeat Dutch party song that emphasizes the joy of partying, rather than staying at home. The song is about a group of friends who choose to go out and party because they believe that it's the best way to spend their time. The song's catchy chorus reinforces the message that being at a party is much better than being inside, and the group continues to dance all night until the club closes.

The lyrics suggest that the group doesn't want to settle down with a traditional life of a house, a garden, and a pet, and instead, they choose to live their lives to the fullest by partying. The song also implies that the group is aware of the pleasures and temptations of the outside world but chooses to live in the moment and have fun anyway. The refrain encourages listeners to forget their worries and join in the party by singing along with the upbeat melody.

Wearing slippers, having coffee, just a chill night at home

En om ‘n uur of tien
And around ten o'clock
