Tol Hansse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Snelle jongens, mooie wijven
Discostampers lichteflitsen
Om de keet mee op te hitsen
En de troetelschijven schuiven
Door de platendraaiers kluiven
Toppers en de krakers dreinen
Door de maagdelijke breinen
Die raas je uit in de muziek
Someday ga je down
De Platenruiter Is In Town
Werkelozen, boze tijden
Vrije jongens, vrije meiden
Willen dansen, willen zweten
Willen fricandellen eten
Muzikale helden schreeuwen
Het plafond haast naar beneden
En al is het leven zuur
't Weekend is weer avontuur
Thuis te zitten valt niet mee
Lauwe thee en de teevee
Someday ga je down
De Platenruiter Is In Town
De hele weekproblematiek
Die raas je uit in de muziek
Someday ga je down
De Platenruiter Is In Town
Ouders protesteren krachtig
Hen wordt het lawaai te machtig
Opa zoekt een gouwe ouwe
Maar alleen om mee te trouwen
Ome Jan hoort met zijn gade
Verbijsterd naar de hitparade
Iedereen wordt nog eens doof
Verwenst de generatiekloof
Maar 't geluid komt van een plaat
Da's beter dan van een granaat
Someday ga je down
