Many many years ago, when I was a little squid
Svante told me you should know people spending lot of quid
at the bookies for a TV Show
ESC, guess you know

I was looking for a job after world cup found an end
so he told me I could work for him
I was silent as a stone, so he gave me microphone,
got a new pool and began to swim

EBU squid, hello, this is me
telling what to bet for the ESC
EBU squid, I will pick them right
who will win or bomb on the biggest night

EBU squid, hello, this is me
telling what to bet for the ESC
EBU squid

I began to learn the flags, met a lot of crazy fags
joined the chat and the MB with a lot of Shalalie
got a show on esc.tv,
daily from Germany

May was coming and I chose, got the mussles out of those,
that I've seen to qualify and win
in the end I was all wrong, Europe picked a shitty song
and I threw away my microphone

EBU squid, that I used to be
told you what to bet for the ESC
EBU squid, now I got to flee
from the crazy fans, that believed in me

EBU squid, that I used to be
told you what to bet for the ESC
EBU squid, that I used to be
told you what to bet for the ESC
EBU squid
