De pruikentijd

G: I found a book in the attic in a corner
A book with elegant ladies and gentlemen
It's full of old pictures from the wig time that book
What strange clothes people wore back then

S: Let me see, Gert
G: I think you won't believe your eyes
Even the dogs had wigs on their heads back then
S: I would have liked to experience that, a wig on my ears
G: Oh Samson, we were born much too late

Chorus 2x
S+G+K: The wig time
The wig time
That was a time of elegance
A friendly bow and a friendly smile
The wig time
The wig time
That was a time of elegance
I wish you good night and I wish you good day

S: I am the Count of Samson and I play the spinet
The suite is full of candles and servants
G: I am Baron of Gertenstein, I dance a minuet
I dance with the princess of Lombardy
Princess, your hoop skirt is a delight for the eye
S: Yes, but when she walks, that dress lifts up a bit
G: I escort her to her carriage, happy and content
S: Oh Gertje, that was so long ago

Chorus 2x

G: I have a pointed rapier
And a buckle on each shoe
S: My friend, would you like a pinch of snuff?
G: Yes, let me do that

Chorus 2x
