Lyrics

Min onkel han var rørpostindianer
Og boede på en flot boulevard
Med fine koner
Masser af kroner
Og en revisor, der var lidt for smart
Der kom et krak —
Farvel og tak
Nu bor han ude på Christiania
Bondefanger — Pusher og bananer
Han har det meget bedre, end du aner
Sikken et liv (Åh Yeah)
Sikken et liv (Onkel husk at skriv)
Gamle olde' blev lidt fjollet
Da hun fyldte 76
Men familien
Tabte viljen
Og ringed' til «De gamles internat»
Men næste dag stak olde' af
Nu bor hun ude på Christiania
Bondefanger — Pusher og bananer
Hun har det meget bedre, end du aner
Sikken et liv (Åh Yeah)
Sikken et liv (Olde' husk at skriv)
Der var en fyr i Fåborg
Der stifted' et kontaktbureau
Gyldne løfter
Og dybe grøfter
Og romantik pr. efterkrav
Men det værste var
At han så tit blev far

Lyrics translation

My uncle he was a pipe postal Indian
And lived on a nice boulevard
With fine wives
Lots of crowns
And an accountant who was a little too smart
There was a crash —
Goodbye and thank you
Now he lives out in Christiania
Con man-drug dealer and bananas
He's much better than you know
What a life (oh Yeah)
What a life (uncle remember to write)
Old olde ' got a little silly
When she turned 76
But the family
Lost the will
And called ' the old people's shelter»
But the next day olde ran off
Now she lives out in Christiania
Con man-drug dealer and bananas
She's much better than you know
What a life (oh Yeah)
What a life (Olde ' remember to write)
There was a guy in Fåborg
Who founded the contact agency
Golden promises
And deep ditches
And romance by definition. cash on delivery
But the worst part was
That he became a father so often
