lyrics
I have given myself a challenge to not have a drink for the month of July.
Though I know it is bon for my constitution, the stress and the strain make me cry.
They have led me to fashion this most Belgian waltz to inform you of how mad I am.
I’m so angry that I want to smash this piano in the manner of Jean-Claude Van Damme.
Oh aï aï aï aï étc.
Well at first it was fine to avoid buying alcohol when at the supermarché,
But being offered a drink at a dinner party has a much greater difficulté.
I feel awkward and strange when I order a Coke or a lemon & lime at a bar,
But the worst is [seven custom syllables] sober, so everyone chante avec moi!
Oh aï aï aï aï étc.
Maybe, just maybe, I’m doing myself a good deed.
Maybe, just maybe, not having a drink is valide.
I’m more energetic, I’m much more alert,
I’m far less pathetic, my head doesn’t hurt.
I think I now get it, I am a convert!
This life change is just what I need.
But then I crack. I remember what fun
I derived from a bière or a bottle of vin.
I see no earthly way to fight my DNA.
At the end of the day, je suis néozélandais!
Oh aï aï aï aï étc.

Awesome track! I also love the "tribute" at the end to that old D&D audio, genius!
