Letra de Potverdekke de Mister John

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!
As i walk along the street, with my mayonnaise and frites,
you can tell i´m as happy as can be.
with my duvel in my hand then you must understand,
i´m a belgian so nothing worries me!
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!
Without the belgians there would be no saxophone,
no tintin, captain haddock or poirot.
and you´ll excuse me if i´ve missed anybody off the list,
these are the only belgians that i know!
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!
Now the english egg and bacon´s not so bad,
especially since all the cows went mad.
but if they´ve never tasted mussels, on the grand place down in brussels,
it´s no wonder that they´re feeling very sad!
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!
I´m a belgian, i´m not irish, i´m not greek,
i don´t drink guiness or retsina, i drink kriek!
on the schelde or the meuse, you find me drinking geuze.
or leffe, or chimay, or lambic!
Potverdekke! it´s great to be a belgian!
i´m not english, i´m not french and i´m not dutch,
i´m not a luxemburger
i´m a belgian so thank you very much!
