Potjiekos

Potjiekos, potjiekos
Lekker, lekker, lekker, lekker potjiekos
Potjiekos, potjiekos
Lekker, lekker potjiekos
Die Drommedaris kom in Tafelberg aan
Kom laat ons sing ja, kom laat ons sing
Ou Jan van Riebeeck, hy gaan nader staan
Kom laat ons sing ja, kom laat ons sing
Die Hollanders is 'n nuuskierige klomp
Oral in die Kaap, daar gaan kyk hulle rond
Harry en sy strandlopertjies was ook daar
Hulle maak 'n vetstert-skapie gaar
Potjiekos, potjiekos
Lekker, lekker, lekker, lekker potjiekos
Potjiekos, potjiekos
Lekker, lekker potjiekos
Harry hardloop nader met 'n swaai van die hand
Kom laat ons sing ja, kom laat ons sing
Harry en van Riebeeck, hulle sit op die sand
Kom laat ons sing ja, kom laat ons sing
Harry en ou Jan, hulle ruil hulle goed
Altwee in die skik, maar net voor hulle groet
Ou Jan vra:
" Daardie potjiekos meneer, asseblief sal jy vir my ook leer?"
Potjiekos, potjiekos
Lekker, lekker, lekker, lekker potjiekos
Potjiekos, potjiekos
Lekker, lekker potjiekos ...
Die hele wêreld kom mos toe ook hier aan
Kom laat ons sing ja, kom laat ons sing
Portugese, Franse, Duitser, Ingelsman
Kom laat ons sing ja, kom laat ons sing
Potjiekos het op die groot trek saam gegaan
Oor die Blouberge tot by ou Dingaan
Ou miesies Victoria het dit self verklaar
"Die lekkerste van alles is die potjiekos daar"
Baie jare het gekom en weggegaan
Kom laat ons sing ja, kom laat ons sing
Die potjie met die kos het altyd vas gestaan
Kom laat ons sing ja, kom laat ons sing
Binne-in die pot gaan jy die volgende kry
"Somer en son en saffier vir my"
"Braaivleis en Rugby en lekker dans"
"'n Orkes op die tong, vol afrikaans"
Potjiekos, potjiekos
Lekker, lekker, lekker, lekker potjiekos
Potjiekos, potjiekos
Lekker, lekker potjiekos ...
Potjiekos, potjiekos
Lekker, lekker, lekker, lekker potjiekos
Potjiekos, potjiekos
Lekker, lekker potjiekos

Potjiekos

Potjiekos, potjiekos
Yummy, yummy, yummy, yummy potjiekos
Potjiekos, potjiekos
Yummy, yummy potjiekos
The Drommedaris arrives to the Table Mountain
Come my darling, let's sing, come my darling, let's sing
Old Jan van Riebeeck, he comes closer
Come my darling, let's sing, come my darling, let's sing
The Dutchmen are a curious bunch
All over the Cape, they go looking around
Harry and his sandpipers were also there
They cook a fat-tailed sheep
Potjiekos, potjiekos
Yummy, yummy, yummy, yummy potjiekos
Potjiekos, potjiekos
Yummy, yummy potjiekos
Harry runs closer with a wave of his hand
Come my darling, let's sing, come my darling, let's sing
Harry and van Riebeeck, they sit on the sand
Come my darling, let's sing, come my darling, let's sing
Harry and old Jan, they exchange their goods
Both pleased, but just before they greet
Old Jan asks:
"That potjiekos, dear sir, please will you teach me too?"
Potjiekos, potjiekos
Yummy, yummy, yummy, yummy potjiekos
Potjiekos, potjiekos
Yummy, yummy potjiekos ...
The whole world also comes here
Come my darling, let's sing, come my darling, let's sing
Portuguese, French, German, Englishman
Come my darling, let's sing, come my darling, let's sing
Potjiekos accompanied during the Great Trek
Over the Blue Mountains to old Dingaan
Old granny Victoria declared it herself
"The best of all is the potjiekos there"
Many years have come and gone
Come my darling, let's sing, come my darling, let's sing
The pot with the food has always stood firm
Come my darling, let's sing, come my darling, let's sing
Inside the pot you will find the following
"Summer and sun and sapphire for me"
"Braai and Rugby and good dancing"
"'An orchestra on the tongue, full of Afrikaans"
Potjiekos, potjiekos
Yummy, yummy, yummy, yummy potjiekos
Potjiekos, potjiekos
Yummy, yummy potjiekos ...
Potjiekos, potjiekos
Yummy, yummy, yummy, yummy potjiekos
Potjiekos, potjiekos
Yummy, yummy potjiekos
