Nellie

As a bad guy, I see on the beach
The beach of Wijk aan Zee
Sometimes women stand that I think
I'll just pick up
And if I want to achieve something
Then no sea is too high for me
With Nellie, I immediately thought
I'll keep an eye on her
I'll keep an eye on her
Maybe I'll get that beautiful woman through a heroic act
If she goes too far into the sea
I'm ready right away

Nellie Nellie
She was the most beautiful on the beach
Nellie, she made me lose my mind
But she always stayed on the side
So I proposed on land
Because I thought a woman like that
Surely wants to be with me
A hero and lifesaver
At the N.R.M
Formerly the Royal North and South Holland Rescue Company

A man in my profession doesn't always have it easy
Because when I asked Nellie, she laughed a high C
She said: I want a real man
And found one in Jean-Claude
Who dives deep in Saint Tropez
Very broad, very tan, very big
Who dives deep in Saint Tropez
Very broad, very tan, very big

I was embarrassed and Nellie took off in Wijk aan Zee
But I didn't give up and followed her to Saint Tropez
Nellie Nellie
She was the most beautiful on the beach
Nellie, I wanted a solid bond with her
Soon Jean-Claude will dump her
Then I'll quickly ask for Nellie's hand
Well, Nel will want
To come back to Holland with me
Her hero and lifesaver
At the N.R.M
Formerly the Royal North and South Holland Rescue Company

But Claude took my Nellie
Out to sea on his boat
He showed off his deep-sea tricks
I saw how she enjoyed it
She jumped with joy
And jumped overboard
The boat drifted away
Her cries for help went unheard

I saw it and thought: I won't get involved
After all, this is not my area
It's in Wijk aan Zee
Nellie Nellie
She was, she was, she was
She was the most beautiful on the beach
Nellie, but she never came back to shore
She couldn't swim without a float
Just a small notice in the newspaper
And I thought foolishly, why
Didn't Nellie choose me
A hero and lifesaver
At the N.R.M
Formerly the Royal North and South Holland Rescue Company
