Een alternatieve essentie

...

Oh get born, keep warm
Short pants, romance
Learn to dance, get dressed
Get blessed, try to be a success
Please her, please him, buy gifts
Don't steal, don't lift
Twenty years of schoolin'
And they put you on the day shift
Look out kid
They keep it all hid
Better jump down a manhole
Light yourself a candle
Don't wear sandals
Try to avoid the scandals
Don't wanna be a bum
You better chew gum
The pump don't work'
Cause the vandals took the handle

'Ge moet er voor zíjn', voor zulke 'essentie's'
Da's een kwestie van aanleg.
Heb er absoluut geen aanleg voor,
ben ik nu 'ne moeilijke mens?'
