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 freeBut like a coin it has two sides
One of which cowers and hides
'Cause it's not a pretty sightIn 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 fanHere, smoke some joints and have a trip
Go to some clubs to see a strip
But make sure to leave a tipHere, 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 stayIn Amsterdam, Amsterdam
Nothing has a ban
Amsterdam, Amsterdam
I'm sure you'll be a fanIn this town where everybody wants to be your friend
You'll find all that you'll want
Sex and drugs go hand in handAmsterdam, Amsterdam
A queen marries his man
Amsterdam, Amsterdam
The only place one canAmsterdam
A song prefered by Dan
Amsterdam, Amsterdam
I'm also a big fan
