Lyrics
Erik Oluf Andersen har hngt sig I en lund,
Han har vel haft en ganske srlig grund,
Det er trods alt en gde, hvordan dette kunne ske,
Hvad var det som fik Andersen p sdґn en skare ide.
Der var ingen ydre tegn, der viste hvorґn det l,
Man m vel laґ sig nje med, at sdan kan det g.
For Andersens hustru hun var bde sd og rar,
Og snnen I familien var et mnstereksemplar,
De boґde I en kmpevilla I et fint kvarter,
Jo, lykken smiledґ til ham, han kuґ nppe nske merґ.
Det hele startedґ med et lille bolsjekogeri,
Han kogte nat og dag og glemte helt at holde fri,
Men virksomheden voksedґ han blev snart en holden mand,
Han kbte sig en luksusvogn der svaredґ til hans stand.
Fru Andersen tog tit til byen med sin kontokort,
Hun parkerede sin egen bil ved varehusets port,
Der kbte hun hvad hun fik lyst til, intet blev forsmt,
Og nare hun krte hjem igen var varehuset tmt.
De havde kleskab og fryseboks som altid var fyldt op Og svineldermbler, kvaliteten var I top,
Motorbd og sommerhus med bar og ben pejs,
Der slappedґ fruen af I ny og n med sin filejs.
Men Erik Oluf Andersen han tog familiens hund,
Og gik en tur en dejlig aftenstund,
Hunden kom tilbage, der var blot et lille men,
Erik Oluf Andersen kom aldrig hjem igen.
Siden blev han fundet I en lund ved Snekkersten,
Der hang den stakkels Andersen og dingledґ fra en gren.
Aldrig merґ skal Andersen hve sin pokal,
Nare han har givet middag I hotellets store sal,
Festen den er s***, det hele endte med et brag,
Og en hel flok aktionrer fik et ordґntligt nakkedrag.
For lykken havde vendt sig sdan som det ofte sker,
Hans firma gik af helvedґ til, han lnte mer og mer,
For sent kom han I tanke om at giґ den en spand kul,
For at redde sig I land og fylde gldens dybe hul.
S han knoklede for livet ofte flere dgn I trk,
Han rationaliserede men skuden den var lk,
Og der siґs at han til s*** har stret om sig vidt og bredt
Med gldsbeviser, og han har ogs spillet p roulet.
Men regningerne voksede til en stadig strre stak,
S Erik Oluf Andersen han saґ farvel og tak,
Og I den sknne aftenstund der rejste han af sted,
Mod fjerne horisonter for at finde ro og fred.
Erik Oluf Andersen har hngt sig I en gren
Lad os andre lse p hans sten:
Her hviler E. O. Andersen — et offer for vor tid
Distancen var for hrd og konkurrencen var for strid.
Tredґve are fare tiden gik han gennem ddens port.
Brdet han slog op var alt for stort.
Lyrics translation
Erik Oluf Andersen has visited a grove,
I guess he's had a pretty bad reason,
After all, it's a gde how this could happen,
What was it that got Andersen P sdnn a crowd idea.
There were no outward signs that showed hownn it l,
Well, I guess you have to say that's how it can go.
For Andersen's wife she was nice and nice,
And the SNN in the family was a mnstereksemplar,
They lived in a kmpevilla in a nice neighborhood,
Well, happiness smiled Smil to him, he could Mer rather Mer.
It all startedґ with a little candy bakery,
He cooked night and day and completely forgot to take time off,
But the company grewґ he soon became a holden man,
He bought himself a luxury van that answered hans to his booth.
Mrs Andersen often went to town with her credit card,
She parked her own car at the gate of the warehouse,
There she wanted what she wanted, nothing was spoiled,
And when she called home again, the warehouse was tmt.
They had fridge and freezer box which was always filled up and svineldermbler, the quality was top notch,
Motorbd and cottage with bar and legs fireplace,
There the lady relaxed in ny and n with her filejs.
But Erik Oluf Andersen he took the family dog,
And went for a walk a nice evening,
The dog came back, there was just a small but,
Erik Oluf Andersen never returned home.
Later he was found in a grove by Snekkersten,
There hung the poor Andersen and dingled hang from a branch.
No more Andersen will Andersen have his cup,
Nare he has given dinner in the hotel's main hall,
The party it's s***, it all ended with a bang,
And a whole bunch of actioners got a wordnt
For happiness had turned as it often happens,
His company went to hell til to, he wanted more and more,
Too late he remembered to give it a bucket of coal,
To save himself ashore and fill the deep hole of the Glade.
S he worked for life often several dgn in trk,
He rationalized but the ship it was lk,
And it is said that to s*** he has stretched far and wide
With gldsbeviser, and he has also played on roulet.
But the bills grew into a still strre stack,
S Erik Oluf Andersen he said goodbye and thank you,
And in the beautiful evening that he left,
Towards distant horizons to find tranquility and peace.
Erik Oluf Andersen has found himself in a branch
Let's all look at his stone:
Here rests E. O. Andersen-a victim of our time
The distance was for hrd and the competition was too contentious.
Tredґve er danger time he went through dden's gate.
The BRD he broke up was way too big.
