[1st verse:]
Not so far from here
There's a very lively atmosphere
Ev'rybody's going there this year
And there's a reason
The season opened there before
Ever since the U.S.A. drug 'war'
Ev'rybody's going there and I'm going, too
I'm on my way to
[Refrain:]
Holland, there's where I'm going
Holland, there's where I'll stay
Holland, where dope is growing
And where blue-eyed Stellas
Light Dutch Masters' Panatellas
Holland, where all is happy
Holland, where all is gay
Why don't you plan a
Wonderful trip
To The Hague?
Just hop on a ship
And I'll see you in Nederland, eh?
[2nd verse:]
Take a friend's advice
Smoking in a cellar isn't nice
Anybody who has got the price
Should be in Holland
Have you been longing for the 'smile'
That you haven't had for quite a while?
If you have, then follow me and I'll show the way
I'm on my way to
[Counterpoint Refrain:]
Why don't you do your smoking like a Dutchman
Instead of hiding in a cellar?
Since Prohibition, tell me, pal, have you been
A very frightened little feller?
Why don't you smoke it from a hookah
'Stead of a tiny silver pipe?
Smoke your hooch, dope and weed
Where the DEA can't feed
The finest bars are there, cigars are there
That only are made for Dutchmen
I'm not a drinking lady, I never smoked a Panatella
But I'm a she who likes to be where all is gay, okay!
So let us leave our cares and troubles behind
And tell 'em our new address
Is where they stay up late and drink till they're blind?
Blind, but nevertheless
They're glad to see you in Nederland, eh?
[Coda:]
Why don't you travel with us on a train or a bus
To the Netherlands where we can begin
To plan a wonderful trip on a plane or a ship
That'll take us from prison state to Nivana?
See you in Nederdand, eh?
