Grunnegers veur gevorderden

He goes from Zoltkamp to the cityHai gaait over Zoltkamp noar Stad tou
But walks five kilometers in an hourMor lopt vief ketaaier in 't uur
He is very stubborn and grumpyHai is aibels voak eelsl en gramniedeg
And when he has a hangover, he calls it a 'free cure'En het e 'n gobaai din ropt e 'vrij kuur'
He is a stubborn PeterHai is 'n zunege Paiter
And he acts like a bishopEn hai gaait as 'n bisschop tekeer

refrain:refrain:
But when Easter and Pentecost fall on the same dayMor as Poaske en Pinkster op ain dag valen
His gums don't itch anymoreDin jeuken hom de koezen nait meer
When Easter and Pentecost fall on the same dayAs Poaske en Pinkster op ain dag valen
His gums don't itch anymoreDin jeuken hom de koezen nait meer

When he's hungry, he takes a sipBie gijhonger nemt e 'n zeupke
He believes it helps more than a bridgeDat helpt volgens hom meer as 'n brug
When you hear him coughingBie toenhoaken heur ie hom stennen
Because he has Evert's cough on his backWant hai het loi Evert op rug
He doesn't care about the bellsai het niks op mit de bongels
And he gives a slap with a tame handEn 'n handtam dij geft e 'n fleer

He has a lock behind his gumsHai het achter de koezen 'n sloatje
And he spits it out three meters awayEn hai kwakjet wel drij meter vot
His victory that lasted for yearsZien zege dij ainuurt al joaren
And he prefers a sly over a boneEn hai het laiver 'n slij as 'n bot
The wind blows right towards his neighborDe wind dij waait krek noar zien noaber
You can already smell it: then he rings the bellIe roken 't al: din ringt e de beer

Hey Hinnerk, get me the group mailTou Hinnerk, hoal mie es de groupvaail
Or the weed cutter from the shedOf d'onkruudzoag achter oet schuur
For three cents, gladly look-over-the-fenceVeur drij cent geern kiek-over-teunbaank
Yes, it wasn't that expensive in the pastJa vrouger was 't lang nait zo duur
We'll walk with kip-kap-kogelMit kip-kap-kogel goan we lopen
We'll never go back to Miss Frog ButtBie juffrouw Kikkerbil kom we nooit weer
