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!
