Te Veel Vertering

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'.
