(Dansar inte lika bra som) Sjömän

Snippet

Lyrics

Dom var kära i nå'n ny Fred Astaire
Dom for till New York City för att göra karriär
Dansa sej över Atlanten - en tango med kapten
Han sa: O.K. ladies, ni har ganska snygga ben, men

ooh ooh
Ni dansar inte lika bra som sjömän - la la la la
ooh ooh
Ni dansar inte lika bra som sjömän

Dom sa: Come on, tiger, visa oss hur det ska va!
Han sa: Det gäller att svänga - swing, som Louis sa
Dansa runt en dykarklocka - Rock around the clock
och satsa allt man har, ni gör det ganska bra, men

ooh ooh
Ni dansar inte lika bra som sjömän...

English translation

(Don't Dance as Well as) Sailors
They were in love with some new Fred Astaire
They went to New York City to make a career
Danced across the Atlantic - a tango with the captain but

oh oh
You don't dance as well as sailors - la la la la
oh oh
You don't dance as well as sailors

They said: Come on tiger, show us how it's done!
He said: You have to swing it - like Louis said
Dance around a diving bell - rock around the clock
and bet all you have, you do it pretty well, but

oh oh
You don't dance as well as sailors - la la la la

Craziest lyrics Kjell Andersson had ever heard. This is the B-side of "Ska vi älska så ska vi älska till Buddy Holly."
