Potverdekke


(lyrics by Mr.John)

Potverdekke, it's great to be a Belgian - I'm not English, I'm not French and I'm not Dutch
(I'm not Spanish, Portuguese or German) - I'm a Belgian, so thank you very much!

As I walk along the streets - With my mayonnaise and frites
You can tell I'm as happy as can be - With my Duvel in my hand
Then you must understand - I'm a Belgian, so nothing worries me!

Potverdekke, it's great to be a Belgian - I'm not English, I'm not French and I'm not Dutch
(I'm not Irish, Italian or Danish) - I'm a Belgian, so thank you very much

Without the Belgians there would be no saxophone - no Tintin, captain Haddock or Poirot
and you'll excuse me if I've missed - anybody of the list
These are the only Belgians that I know!

Potverdekke, it's great to be a Belgian - I'm not English, I'm not French and I'm not Dutch
(I'm not Finnish, Austrian or Swedish) - I'm a Belgian, so thank you very much!

Potverdekke, it's great to be a Belgian - I'm not English, I'm not French and I'm not Dutch
(I'm not Spanish, Portuguese or German) - I'm a Belgian, so thank you very much!

Now the English egg and bacons not so bad - Especially since all their cows went mad
But if they've never tasted mussels - On the Grand Place down in Brussels
Its no wonder they're feeling very sad!

Potverdekke, it's great to be a Belgian - I'm not English, I'm not French and I'm not Dutch
(I'm not Irish, Italian or Danish) - I'm a Belgian, so thank you very much

I'm a Belgian, I'm not Irish, I'm not Greek - I dont drink Guinness or Retsina, I drink Kriek!
On the Schelde or the Meuse - You find me drinking Gueuze
Or Leffe or Chimay or Lambik!

Potverdekke, it's great to be a Belgian - I'm not English, I'm not French and I'm not Dutch
(I'm not Spanish, Portuguese or German) - I'm a Belgian, so thank you very much

Potverdekke, it's great to be a Belgian - I'm not English, I'm not French and I'm not Dutch
(And me, I'm not a Luxemburger) - I'm a Belgian, so thank you very much

Potverdekke, it's great to be a Belgian - I'm not English, I'm not French and I'm not Dutch
(I'm not Spanish, Portuguese or German) - I'm a Belgian, so thank you very much
