Muziektiendaagse (3)

Weet jij nog wat je allereerste (cd) singletje was? 
Het mijne was She likes weeds, van de Tee-Set.
De zanger Peter Tetteroo vond ik sexy en hij zong zo mooi. Let ook even op zijn uitzonderlijke bakkebaarden. Daarvoor alleen al een compliment.
She likes weeds werd een grote hit in het jaar dat ik tien jaar werd, 1970. 

Waar het liedje over ging wist ik helemaal niet, ik vond het gewoon een vrolijk nummer. Maar het klopt wel; ik hou van kruidenthee :-)
Overigens werd dit nummer geboycot in Amerika, omdat het zou refereren aan drugsgebruik. Gek land dat Amerika, waar op negen van de tien bankbiljetten sporen van cocaine te vinden zijn.


She likes weeds

There’s a longnosed dirty old witch Witchipoo
She speaks a magic word called Shackabadoo
The smell of thousand herbs is hanging round the house where she lives in
It’s built on magic ground

There’s an all kind coloured smoke raising up
Among her stirring red brass magic pot
Her chimney means a lot to her for her coloured boiling brew
Holding snake tails, but just a few

She likes weeds
They're easy to grow
They are easy to grow, easy to grow
In the morning dew

She likes weeds
They're easy to grow
And they always are there, everywhere
When she needs a few

But she also keeps a cat or seven
And a miles far hearing screaming raven
A magic stick, a flying broom
Are just a few things
That she keeps in her room

She likes weeds
They're easy to grow
They are easy to grow, easy to grow
In the morning dew

She likes weeds
They're easy to grow
And they always are there, everywhere
When she needs a few

She likes weeds
They're easy to grow
They are easy to grow, easy to grow
In the morning dew

She likes weeds
They're easy to grow
And they always are there, everywhere
When she needs a few

She likes weeds
They're easy to grow
They are easy to grow, easy to grow
In the morning dew

Oho, weeds
They're easy to grow
