Blanche en zijn peird

Between Kortrijk and Lauwe
Blanche and his horse
People come to see
Because it’s quite a sight
A horse and a cart
For over a hundred years
They take the same old route every day

Chorus:
Blanche, Blanche, Blanche and his horse
Thud thud thud, my horse

You say, you’re crazy, what’s there to see?
There are way better things to do, you see
A cart, oh man, it’s not that great
And what’s so special about a horse anyway?

Chorus

I can tell you don’t get me at all
It’s not the speed that’s the point at all
Not the comfort of a fancy ride
But just take a spin with that cart, come on

Chorus:
Oh, Blanche, Blanche, Blanche and his horse
Thud thud thud, my horse

And you’re hanging out with Blanche, looking at that horse
And all you see is a big hole and some dirt
And he talks about his grand adventures
With horse and cart and all his crew

Chorus

And the horse keeps moving, deep in thought
What you wouldn’t expect from such a beast
Those filthy cars, they stink so bad
And you wrinkle your nose at horse manure

Chorus

Besides, horses are just born this way
And you know very well, nothing’s ever lost
The sparrows in the streets won’t die from it
One guy’s trash is another guy’s treasure

Chorus

Yeah, that’s life, and it’s all good
And you won’t change it, no matter how hard you try
Fly to the moon and blow it all up
I’m just saying, who’s the crazy one here?
Blanche

Chorus

There goes that cart down the bumpy streets
From early morning till late at night
For those two, it’s such simple joy
They understand each other with a simple thud

Chorus

People, when you pass between Kortrijk and Lauwe
It doesn’t come every day, and it’s not that tight
But you gotta see it, because it’s quite a sight
The most beautiful thing in the world, it’s Blanche and his horse
The most beautiful thing in the world, it’s Blanche and his horse

Blanche, Blanche, Blanche and his horse
Thud thud thud, oh
