Bestel Mar (edit)

'T Keumt mie veur ge zit allien ge zit te baale
Ge zit al oore lang te keike nar ow schoon
Niks te proate, niks te zeen, niks te beleave
Oet vervealing gadde mar wat zinnigs doon

En met de hand deep in de tes loepte de stroat op
Alles donker lampe oet, gordiene dicht
En net als ge bedenkt ik gaj nar hoes nar bed toe
Schient zachtjes in de verte 't verlossend licht

Ach bestel mar, bestel mar, bestel mar
Ge wet dat ik 't neet kan loate
Nog efkes en dan begin ik
D'r wir duchtig langs te proate

In 't cafe an d'n tap, wuurd 't mar latter
De klok die kunde doar neet zeen, die hengt te hoeg
Van al dat beer werde stiekemaan mar zatter
'T wuurd nou echt d'n hoegste tied um weg te goan
Ge pakt ow pilske en ow knip um te betaale
Keumt d'r net nog zonne blieje bij ow stoan
Stel ow nie aan man, zoep d'r toch nog enne mei man
Wie denkt d'r nou zo vroeg al an naar hoes te goan

Ach bestel mar, bestel mar, bestel mar
Ge wet dat ik 't neet kan loate
Nog efkes en dan begin ik
D'r wir duchtig langs te proate

'T Wuurd drukker de biljardclub keumt nar binne
Verloore mar dat makt vur die niks oet
Dikke Piet zet dat ie vet haj kunne winne
Mar d'n teagestand waas schienbaar toch wat groet
En zoe velt d'r doar wal aalt wat te beleave
Minse koeme doar nar binne, minse goan
Al stort de ganse werlt inien, 't kan niks geave
Zolang 't beer en de cafe mar blieve stoan

Ach bestel mar, bestel mar, bestel mar
Ge wet dat ik 't neet kan loate
Nog efkes en dan begin ik
D'r wir duchtig langs te proate

Ach bestel mar, bestel mar, bestel mar
Ge wet dat ik 't neet kan loate
Nog efkes en dan begin ik
D'r wir duchtig langs te proate

Order a Beer (edited)

You've been sitting all by yourself for so long
You've been watching your beauty for too long
Nothing to say, nothing to see, nothing to do
Out of boredom you'll do something sensible

And with your hand deep in your pocket you walked down the street
Everything dark, no lights, curtains drawn
And when you think, I'm going home to bed
The redeeming light gently shines in the distance

Oh, order one, order one, order one
You know I can't resist
In a moment, then I'll start
Really talking properly

In the pub at the bar, it's getting later
You can't see the clock there, it's too high
You're getting secretly drunker from all that beer
It's really time to go now
You take your beer and your wallet to pay
Suddenly someone cheerful is standing by you
Don't act like that, have another one with me
Who thinks of going home this early

Oh, order one, order one, order one
You know I can't resist
In a moment, then I'll start
Really talking properly

It's getting busier, the billiard club is coming in
They're losing, but that doesn't matter to them
Fat Pete says he could have easily won
But the counter was seemingly too big
And so there's always something going on
People come and go
Even if the whole world collapses, it doesn't matter
As long as the beer and the pub stay open

Oh, order one, order one, order one
You know I can't resist
In a moment, then I'll start
Really talking properly

Oh, order one, order one, order one
You know I can't resist
In a moment, then I'll start
Really talking properly
