Paul Revere and the Raiders
Down in Amsterdam
[Verse 1]
When I woke up this mornin'
My watch said half-past noon
A pretty Amsterdamsel
Fed me berries with a spoon
[Verse 2]
I washed my hair and combed my face
And it was time to go
But I had missed the limousine
Because I pack too slow
[Chorus]
I’m down in Amsterdam
Nobody knows my name
I don't speak much, not a word of Dutch
I've got to catch my plane
Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh
Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 3]
I jumped into my rent-a-car
Apologies to Hertz
I couldn’t get it started
And I couldn't find reverse
[Verse 4]
I finally got it rollin'
Took off like Graham Hill
But it soon ceased to function
'Cause the gas tank wasn't filled
[Chorus]
I'm down in Amsterdam
Nobody knows my name
I don't speak much, not a word of Dutch
I've got to catch my plane
Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh
Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 5]
I was draggin’ all my luggage
Down the Amsterdam highway
Stuck out my thumb to hitch a ride
And everybody waved
[Verse 6]
I finally flagged a Citroen
And headed for the port
When I got to Lufthansa
They were closin’ up the door
[Chorus]
I'm down in Amsterdam
Nobody knows my name
I don’t speak much, not a word of Dutch
I've got to catch my plane
Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh
Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh
[Outro]
Woo-ooh-ooh
Woo-ooh-ooh
Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh
