The Dutchbeat (Remastered 2021) Songtext
von Gino Vannelli

Pretty woman sittin′ wishbone in the window
Queen of the wild end
She flashed me ten fingers five times
I'm guessing fifty bones all in
I might have boned her
If not for destiny callin′
Walkin' the Dutch speed, hey
Yeah, I beat the rocks till I dropped into a coffee shop
But hey, what's in a name?
′Cause no-go for a cup of joe
So hello, Mary Jane
I didn′t get religion
But it felt like heaven all the same
Walkin' the Dutch speed, hey


I followed my star to the river Rhine
Saw two midnight cowboys ridin′ high
Folks strolled by, no one even blinked an eye
I said, "My, oh my"
And the moon and the stars shine on
Life is beautiful
When you're halfway gone, oh yeah
Walkin′ the Dutch speed till the light of day
A twilight cruise along the water causeway
Takin' a space walk, silly grin on my face
All the time in the world, not a moment to waste

Oh yeah
Gotta catch a train at no particular place
Oh yeah
All the time in the world, not a moment to waste

I thought I heard the fat lady sing
When ring-a-ding-ding came a long distance call
Voice on the other side said
"Boy, go to the mountain where there ain′t none at all"
So I tramped through the lowlands
Like the great fool, Perceval
Where the princess in the tower
Young flower of my heart blind
I cried, "Rapunzel, Rapunzel
Let your hair down for the prince to climb"
But he butch cut
Left me in quite a bind
Walkin' the Dutch speed


Life skipped me like a stone across the sea
I found my other self, but I let the bird free
Left me in tears, but all tears, they dry eventually
My, oh my
And the moon and the stars shine on
Life is sure beautiful
When you're halfway gone, a-one-two
Walkin′ the Dutch speed till the light of day
A twilight cruise along the water causeway
Takin′ a space walk, silly grin on my face
All the time in the world, not a moment to waste

Oh yeah
Gotta catch a train at no particular place
Oh yeah
All the time in the world, not a moment to waste
All the time in the world, not a moment to waste, yeah

All the time in the world, not a moment to waste
I gotta catch this train at no particular place
All the time in the world, not a moment to waste
All the time in the world
Got all the time in the world
