Jeg Troed' Du Var Hos Mikael
Souvenirs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
åh åh åh Mikael
helt ærligt, der er noget du ikke har fortalt
du sagde at dig og Mikael
åh åh åh Mikael
I skulle jamme
jamen det sagde du
du ku´ godt ha haft ringet så man ved lidt om hvor du er
og hvordan hænger det sammen at Rikke har set dig
ved ni-tiden i Mejlgade
åh Mikael, han har aldrig boet der
jeg troed du var hos Mikael
åh åh åh Mikael
helt ærligt, der er noget du ikke har fortalt
du sagde at dig og Mikael
åh åh åh Mikael
I skulle jamme
jamen det sagde du
du sir´ jeg bager på Mikael på grund af i lørdags og hvad så
I står jo selv og scorer på Blitz dig og Hilmer og Fritz
somom der er noget som helst galt i en film og en gåtur
en aften på havnen med Mikael
det er pinligt du er så jaloux
jeg troed du var hos Mikael
åh åh åh Mikael
helt ærligt, der er noget du ikke har fortalt
du sagde at dig og Mikael
åh åh åh Mikael
I skulle jamme
jamen det sagde du
han: ahr, det er jo om tirsdagen vi øver
hun: jeg syns du sagde det var om torsdagen
han: nej, det er om tirsdagen
hun: jamen, hvad lavede du så igår
han: hold nu op, jeg gider ikke hvis vi skal til alt det igen ...
