The Dutchbeat - Gino Vannelli

Pretty woman sittin' wishbone in the window queen of de Wallen

She flashed me ten fingers five times, I’m guessin' fifty bones all in

Might o' boned up if not for destiny callin'

Walkin' the Dutchbeat

Yea, I beat the rocks till I dropped into a coffee shop, but what’s in a name

Cause no go for a cup o' Joe but hello Mary Jane

Didn’t get religion but felt like heaven all the same

Walkin' the Dutchbeat

Followed my star to the River Rai

Saw two midnight cowboys ridin' high

Folks rolled by, no one even blinked an eye

Said, my oh my!

And the moon and the stars shine on

Life is beautiful when you’re halfway gone

Walkin' the Dutchbeat till the break o' day

Twilight cruisin' 'long the Watercourse Way

Takin' a spacewalk silly grin on my face

All the time in the world not a moment to waste

Dobededobop!

Oh yea!

Gotta catch a train to no particular place

Dobededobop!

Oh yea!

All the time in the world not a moment to waste

Thought I heard the fat lady sing when ring-a-ding-ding came a long distance

Voice on the other side cried, boy, go to the mountain where th’ain’t none at

all

So I tramped to the Lowlands like the great fool Percival

Where a princess in a tower, young flower robbed my heart blind

I cried, Repunzel!

Repunzel!

Let your hair down for your prince to climb

But her buzz cut left me in quite a bind

Life skipped me like a stone across the sea

Found my other self but I set the bird free

Left me in tears but all tears dry… eventually

Said, my oh my!

And the moon and the stars shine on

Life is sure beautiful when you’re halfway gone

Walkin' the Dutchbeat till the break o' day

Twilight cruisin' 'long the Watercourse Way

Takin' a spacewalk silly grin on my face

All the time in the world not a moment to waste

Dobededobop!

Oh yea!

Gotta catch a train to no particular place

Dobededobop!

Oh yea!

All the time in the world not a moment to waste
