Arme ouwe
Gerard Cox
Poor Old Lady
'It’s Prince's Day today
And all the other punks have headed to The Hague
But I’m not going
I’m staying home, 'cause they don’t need me there
Not that I’m pro-Dutch royal, I hate the monarchy
I could puke when I see Trix or Claus or Bernhard
And Julian isn’t much either, I’ll admit that soon
She’s completely despicable, but she looks just like my mom
She’s got about the same kind of figure
She has that same uncertainty in her eyes
She can fumble with her glasses
When she’s scared people won’t like her
And in The Hague, I would never
Have thrown a smoke bomb at her carriage
I really wouldn’t have done it
I would’ve just thought:
Poor old lady, just stay on your throne
Oh, what would we even do to knock you down?
Just stay put, just like before, no big deal
Poor old lady, poor old lady.
