Lyrics
Vi bandt en kattekilling fast på en myretue
Fordi vi syntes den kunne fortjene at blive bidt
Vi var lissom vorherre for det eneste vi ville have
Var kattekillingens skellet
Men mikkel ræv han kom først
Og han tog katten med
Eller det som myrerne ikke havde kunnet æde
Det eneste vi fandt dengang vi selv kom tilbage
Var vores fiskesnøre hvor katten havde lagt
Hvor den havde lagt og lidt
Vi blev ude af os selv og krydsede over en eng
Vi var bevæbnet med kæppe og sten
Bare i tilfælde af vi skulle træffe mikkel ræv
For så skulle han få brækket hans ben
Vi tog ud til en strand
Hvor vi altid tog hen
Når der var noget der skulle snakkes om
Hvordan vi skulle få fat i et katteskelet
Uden at det skulle blive hugget igen
Åh gud åh gud hvordan?
Vi sejlede ud mens det blev lilla over Rimmerby Strand
I en båd vi ikke havde lov til at låne
Der var ingen der kunne tage os for vi valgte en time
Der ligger midt imellem sol og måne
Vi snakkede voksenmandssnak vi sejlede forlæns og bak
Og kiggede ind mod land
På de gamle tændte lys over Rimmerby Strand
Det var som gnister der glimtede og sprang
Åh gud åh gud hvor de sprang
For lissom ole sad på en knold og sang
Så kunne vi nok fornemme hvor vi ville ende engang
Vi kiggede på havet hver eneste dag
Men vi kan ikke gå på vandet der hvor vi kommer fra
Og jollen den drev og det blev stille og mørkt
Det vi ikke kunne skimte kunne vi lytte
Hvordan mågerne skændes om en bundgarnspæl
Hvor de alle sammen ville sove i nat
Det var henning der sagde
Hvis han blev gammel en dag
Skulle de aldrig få ham drevet i lære
Hellere drive rundt og være doven og dum
End at kede sig i kansas klæder
Så hellere lade være
De synger nå nå og ja ja og hva' så og hvordan
Min radio om nogle rigtige mænd
Det eneste jeg kunne tænke mig sådan en mandag morgen
Det var at være en lille dreng igen
Men skønt jeg ved mig selv
Jeg nok aldrig får held
Til at begynde fra begyndelsen
Så tror jeg får fat i en hankat i nat
Og tager ud til min myretue igen
Ind i min mor igen
Lyrics translation
We tied a kitten to an anthill
Because we thought it might deserve to be bitten
We were like the Lord for all we wanted
Was the kitten's line
But mikkel Fox he came first
And he brought the cat
Or what the ants couldn't eat
The only thing we found when we came back ourselves
Was our fishing line where the cat had laid
Where it had laid and suffered
We got out of ourselves and crossed over a meadow
We were armed with sticks and stones
Just in case we should meet mikkel Fox
Because then he should break his leg
We went to a beach
Where we always went
When there was something to talk about
How to get a cat skeleton
Without it having to be chopped again
Oh god oh god how?
We sailed out while it became purple over Rimmerby Beach
In a boat we were not allowed to borrow
No one could take us because we chose an hour
It's in the middle of the sun and Moon
We talked adult man talk we sailed forward and back
And looked towards land
On the old lit candles above Rimmerby Beach
It was like sparks that flashed and jumped
Oh my god oh my god they jumped
Because like ole sat on a knuckle and sang
I guess we could sense where we'd end up sometime
We looked at the sea every single day
But we can't walk on the water where we come from
And the dinghy it drifted and it got quiet and dark
What we couldn't see we could listen
How the Seagulls argue about a bottom twine pole
Where they all wanted to sleep tonight
It was henning who said
If he got old one day
Should they never teach him
I'd rather drive around and be lazy and stupid
Than to get bored in kansas robes
Better not
They sing well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well
My radio about some real men
The only thing I would like such a Monday morning
It was being a little boy again
But though I know myself
I probably never get Luck
To begin from the very beginning
Then I think I'll get a cockat tonight
And go back to my anthill
Into my mother again
