3 - It's So Wet on This Polder

Original Song Title: "Put Your Head on My Shoulder"
Original Performer: Paul Anka
Parody Song Title: "It's So Wet on This Polder"
Parody Written by: John A. Barry



It's so wet on this polder,
But it's where we farm, wavy
North Sea held by dikes, navy
Boats make sure that Hans Brinker's not due.

We have cowchips and kine here,
On the grass they munch, sav'ry
Is each tender bite, save me
From the lure of bovine love.

People say that we can reclaim
The land while we drink Dutch gin.
But we must stay in a sober way
Or North Sea pools might rush in.

It's so wet on this polder
But it's where we farm, wavy
North Sea held by dikes. Cold feet--
It's so wet on this polder.

Smiling at your poem.
Singing along with your song.
And loving your Dutch scene on the polder

Beautiful scene, serene and fresh. Love this song, Paul Anka was very popular in Poland at the time back then. V.

Beautiful image. The horse catches the attraction, so I missed the guys first. v
