AMSTERDAM

Anonymous

Original melody: "Amsterdam" - Netherlands 1980

Where in the city you may be
There's just one thing that you will see
And that is people who are free

But like a coin it has two sides
One of which cowers and hides
'Cause it's not a pretty sight

In Amsterdam, Amsterdam
Red lights attract the men
Amsterdam, Amsterdam
More hashish than Vietnam
Amsterdam, Amsterdam
Where nothing has a ban
Amsterdam, Amsterdam
I'm sure you'll be a fan

Here, smoke some joints and have a trip
Go to some clubs to see a strip
But make sure to leave a tip

Here, half of the men you'll see are gay
In search of their catch of the day
It makes you wish you're here to stay

In Amsterdam, Amsterdam
Nothing has a ban
Amsterdam, Amsterdam
I'm sure you'll be a fan

In this town where everybody wants to be your friend
You'll find all that you'll want
Sex and drugs go hand in hand

Amsterdam, Amsterdam
A queen marries his man
Amsterdam, Amsterdam
The only place one can

Amsterdam
A song prefered by Dan
Amsterdam, Amsterdam
I'm also a big fan
