Lyrics
Instrumental Intro: Atmospheric swell with pulsing didgeridoo drone and a warm, steady heartbeat kick drum
Solo: Crwth and Vintage Synthesizer building a bright, syncopated melody
Verse 1
Key: G Major
Tempo: 124 BPM
Miranda - Female Soprano - Ethereal, High-register
Melodic Peak: High sustained G5, sparkling and clear
Consonant Timing: Crisp delivery, sharp plosives, and long, open vowels on the end rhymes
Look once here under my old wooden floor,
Thirty-five Rembrandts, I am shocked to my core!
I was just cleaning up my house on a Tuesday,
Now I have a museum, how do you look at that, eh?
Annelies - Female Alto - Raspy husky tone, Low-mid focused
Melodic Peak: Warm, resonant B3, grounded and expressive
Consonant Timing: Relaxed, conversational phrasing with soft sibilants
And the golden helmet stolen from the museum display,
It is successfully recovered, what a beautiful day!
We are returning the treasures to Indonesia too,
This is how we fix history, making everything new!
Verse 2
Key: G Major
Tempo: 124 BPM
Fannie - Female Mezzo-Soprano - Soulful, wide dramatic vibrato
Melodic Peak: High-energy E5, full-throated and punchy
Consonant Timing: Rapid-fire Trinidadian syncopation, sharp staccato articulation
Wuh loss, darlin'! Look at de turbine spin!
Inside de decommissioned nose cone, let de cozy life begin!
We build a tiny home inside, circular design so grand,
De cleverest green livin' in de whole of de land!
And inside de greenhouse shop, de lettuce growin' so fast,
Hyper-local farm tech, we savin' de planet at last!
Chorus
Key: G Major
Tempo: 124 BPM
All - Female Quartet
Melodic Peak: Soaring four-part harmony with Miranda holding a brilliant D5 chordal peak
Consonant Timing: Perfect unified ensemble timing, punchy rhythmic accents on the downbeats
Oh, we jammin' on de train with de discount ticket,
Forty-nine Euros, yes, dat is how we click it!
Free transit for de kids in Amsterdam town,
No cars, no traffic, no reasons to frown!
We jumpin' barefoot, happy children in de sun,
This Dutch lifestyle is for everyone!
Verse 3
Key: G Major
Tempo: 124 BPM
Emma - Female Contralto - Bright, resonant feminine chest register
Melodic Peak: Rich, velvety D4 with a strong, confident projection
Consonant Timing: Smooth, legato phrasing with clear, rounded consonant endings
Watch out on your bicycle, do not go too fast,
Twenty kilometers per hour, so the safety will last!
In Amsterdam and Houten, we are slowing the pace,
So the little ones can ride with a smile on their face!
Five key deliverables from the fossil fuel talk,
We transition to green, yes, we walk the walk!
Bridge
Key: G Major
Tempo: 124 BPM
Fannie - Female Mezzo-Soprano - Soulful, wide dramatic vibrato
Melodic Peak: Rhythmic, percussive G4, driving the beat
Consonant Timing: Fast-paced, rhythmic bounce with sharp, syncopated word endings
Trini energy mixin' with de cold North Sea breeze,
We wild and we free, we doin' just what we please!
Miranda - Female Soprano - Ethereal, High-register
Melodic Peak: Heavenly sustained B5, floating over the synthesizer
Consonant Timing: Silky smooth transitions, soft dental consonants
No shoes on our feet, just the grass and the sand,
We are the happiest girls in a very happy land!
Chorus
Key: G Major
Tempo: 124 BPM
All - Female Quartet
Melodic Peak: Triumphant, soaring four-part harmony reaching a bright G5
Consonant Timing: Crisp, high-impact syncopated delivery, locking perfectly with the didgeridoo and kick drum
Oh, we jammin' on de train with de discount ticket,
Forty-nine Euros, yes, dat is how we click it!
Free transit for de kids in Amsterdam town,
No cars, no traffic, no reasons to frown!
We jumpin' barefoot, happy children in de sun,
This Dutch lifestyle is for everyone!
Outro
Key: G Major
Tempo: 124 BPM
All - Female Quartet
Melodic Peak: Gentle, fading harmonic blend on a warm G major triad
Consonant Timing: Soft, trailing sibilants, fading out smoothly
Just twenty kilometers...
In our wind turbine home...
Barefoot and happy...
Under the sun...
Decrescendo
Fade Out
