The Lyrics
No, this is not a parody of the full 18 minute narration. I, however, admit that it would be fun to attempt it. For now, I'll use the actual song portion. Amsterdam city officials recently bemoaned the lack of family tourists visiting their city. Ya think! ;D
You can get anything you want in Amsterdam, Netherlands
You can do anything you want in Amsterdam, Netherlands
Come right in and you'll be a pal
Have a Heineken beside a filthy canal
You can have anything you want in Amsterdam, Netherlands
You can get any drugs you want in Amsterdam, Netherlands
It's all cool and the cops you taunt in Amsterdam, Netherlands
Pot, Coke, Crack - as much as you please
You can have your heroin with Gouda cheese
Snort, smoke, shoot anything you want in Amsterdam, Netherlands
Have your sex anyway you can in Amsterdam, Netherlands
Girl - girl, guy - guy, sheep on man, in Amsterdam, Netherlands
Do your thing - you won't come to harm
It's San Francisco but with Old World charm
And prostitution is so grand in Amsterdam, Netherlands
Did you think we wear wooden shoes in Amsterdam Netherlands?
Then you must never watch the news 'bout Amsterdam, Netherlands.
Windmills? Tulips? They're all an act
And our dikes aren't there to hold the North Sea back
Come on in and we'll cure your blues in Amsterdam, Netherlands
I wanted to write a verse about the Dutch monarchy, but these is no rhyme for the House of "Orange"...lol ;D

I once watched a documentary about Holland "Sex, Drugs, and Democracy". Pot for sale in every bar. Women for sale in showrooms. Nude beaches. Parents taking their children to the Sex Museum. People of every race, color and creed all holding hands and singing "Kumbaya". Tolerance for everyone, including Muslims who would like to burn the whole place to the ground, if the ground were not so swampy. Then, near the end, an official being interviewed said "We don't allow guns here". I cried "Fascist Police State!". I guess everyone has his own definition of freedom. When it comes to smoke, I'll take cordite over cannibas.
You know what you're going to see when you get there; I guess not that many folks want to see what they have to offer. Nice parody on old Arlo song - I could never listen to whole 18 minutes either.
OMR-- you do beat the Dutch! :) (security code is "555"-- hehe)
Interesting tale..I've heard that about Nether, Netherland..
off to the airport...see ya there
