Original: ”Up a Lazy River” (Carmichael/Arodin. Ej på skiva.
Häromåret for jag
uppför den där ån
i Sydamerika
som kallas Amazon.
Jag sjöng för amerikaner
på vår muntra båt,
lånande Carmichaels låt:
Up the lazy river,
sailing on your own,
the lazy lazy river,
called the Amazon.
You´ve sacrificed a lot
to enjoy this scene,
putting all your money
in one sloth-machine.
Up the lazy river
where piranhas meet
to hunt the muddy waters
for your careless feet –
Mosquitos in your hair,
parrots shout ”Beware!”;
An eager anaconda is there to squeeze your bone –
Welcome to the Amazon!
Up the lazy river,
cruisin´ night and day,
enjoying life on board
the safe and comfy way –
Everything you need
comes in handipacks,
so do whiskysodas,
so do zodiacs.
Hiking in the jungle,
fighting bugs and plants,
you feel those long-nosed animals
licking ants in your pants.
Orchids on the brink,
dolphins in the pink,
howler-monkeys howling as their coconuts are thrown –
Welcome to the Amazon!
