Te Veel Vertering
Herman Finkers
Too Much Digestion
I bought some fries for fun
The price was exactly one guilder
And if I exaggerate
The price was one guilder five
To get rid of the taste
Maybe for a nickel
I took a gumball after that
So it came to one guilder ten
Then reduced my budget
With a croquette sandwich
It was just a shabby place:
Still a guilder
For a quarter of mustard
That brought the total loss
Including those few beers
To exactly eighty guilders
With this song I want to go to the song festival. I have already been in touch with
such an unreliable,
backstabbing slickster, in Hilversum jargon they call him a
'producer', and he
said to me: 'That won't get you there. I will explain to you how to write such
a song'.
