Lappuliisa
Klamydia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Joka säihkysilmänsä kohti pirssiäni luo
On sillä päällä punaiset housut ja takki
Ja naama yhtä kaunis kuin työkalupakki
Jee jee
Jee jee
Lappuliisa sakottelee
No se on lappuliisa, lappuliisa, lappuliisa jee jee jee
Lappuliisa sakottelee
(soolo)
Karviaispuskan näköinen ja jokseenkin samankokoinen
Humppumaan kummajainen lappuliisa suloinen
Aina yhtä iloinen
1100 kiloinen
Ammattitaitonsa todistaa
Osaa numeroita raapustaa
Jee jee
Jee jee
No se on lappuliisa, lappuliisa, lappuliisa jee jee jee
Lappuliisa sakottelee
No se on lappuliisa, lappuliisa, lappuliisa jee jee jee
Lappuliisa sakottelee
Kuka helvetin hullu lienee
Sen aviomies
Sokee hullu pilvessä tai...
Ihan takuulla
Se on ikuinen vanhapiika
Yhtä seksikäs kuin savusiika jeeeeee-eee
Lappuliisa, lappuliisa, lappuliisa jee jee jee
Lappuliisa sakottelee (no niin se tekee jee jee)
No se on lappuliisa, lappuliisa, lappuliisa jee jee jee
Kirveellä töitä on
The lyrics to Klamydia's song "Lappuliisa" describe a beautiful mermaid who catches the eye of the singer. She's wearing red pants and a jacket, and has a gorgeous face. However, the lyrics take a humorous turn as the singer identifies her as Lappuliisa, a woman known for giving out fines. The song goes on to describe her peculiar appearance, including her size and the fact that she looks like a gooseberry bush. Despite this, Lappuliisa seems happy and skilled with numbers. The final few lines of the song mock her presumed husband, who is described as crazy or blind, and portray Lappuliisa as an eternal spinster who is as sexy as smoked fish.
While the song's lyrics may seem silly and nonsensical to some, they highlight the Finnish tradition of humorous and playful music. Klamydia's "Lappuliisa" is a prime example of this genre, which combines catchy melodies and upbeat rhythms with sometimes absurd lyrics. The song also touches on themes of beauty, sex appeal, and the humorous perceptions of different professions, such as law enforcement.
