Chorus C G Potverdekke, it's great to be a Belgian D G I'm not English, I'm not French and I'm not Dutch C G (I'm not Spanish, Portuguese or German) D G I'm a Belgian, so thank you very much! Verse 1 - 1:50 D As I walk along the streets G With my mayonnaise and frites D G You can tell I'm as happy as can be D With my Duvel in my hand G Then you must understand C D I'm a Belgian, so nothing worries me! Chorus 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 Verse 2 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! |
Chorus 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! Verse 3 Now the English egg and bacon's not so bad Especially since all their cows went mad But if they've never tasted mussels On the Grand Place down in Brussels It's no wonder they're feeling very sad! Chorus 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 |
Verse 4 I'm a Belgian, I'm not Irish, I'm not Greek I don't drink Guinness or Retsina, I drink Kriek! On the Schelde or the Meuse You find me drinking Gueuze Or Leffe or Chimay or Lambik! Chorus 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 Chorus 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 |
