Met M'n Schoffel
Herman Berkien
With My Hoe
And now a tune for everyone who loves to dig their hands in the ground
Chorus:
With my hoe and my pusher, and my scraper and my shovel
This handsome guy is fixing up his allotment
It grows and blooms, I prune, the whole mess is in a tangle
With my hoe and my pusher and my shovel
In my little garden I have sprouts, beautiful stalks of kale
Onions to cry for, good veggies, where
It's healthy for a person, nice to put your hands in the ground
That's better than having your hands in your hair
Gladioli and endive, man, it's a beautiful sight
If the whole mess comes out healthy from the ground
Aunt Pietsjie, Uncle Teus, always have first choice
In my allotment I feel like a giant
Chorus
In spring you have to sow, in autumn you have to prune
Otherwise the mess will be wrong in bloom
And you keep yourself fit, when you hoe and you dig
I'd rather say bye to a heart attack
When we sit at the table, and I see the bowl of lettuce
I feel so proud, what do you think
And the beans from my garden, taste incredibly good too
Well, enjoy your meal, and now back to the chorus
Chorus (2x)
