De Peuk Cafe has to be one of my favorite places to play!
The crowd there is always bright and friendly...maybe its because they are drunk...but maybe...just maybe...its because they like my music.
Enjoy the longest dutch word. Get to the album version here

http://adamhoek.bandcamp.com/track/longest-dutch-word

Lyrics:
verse:
Sitting round the table
with my sister and my grandparents there

try na teach us dutch,
coz that's where we're going
and we'll need to speak much.

and they're teaching us the alphabet
and it sounds so weird.
where the 'E's sound like 'A's
and the 'I's sound like 'E's

and it's quite confusing for a child,
but we would get a hang of it after a while.

Chorus:
but there's one thing that I know
and its the longest word in dutch
taught to me by my grandpa and its
haze-wind-hond-hals-band-slot-
sleutel-gaatjes-makers-stage-
lopers-leerling

Its
haze-wind-hond-hals-band-slot-
sleutel-gaatjes-makers-stage-
lopers-leerling

Verse:
Well I guess your wondering,
what this word means,
and why its so long,
well I

asked my grandpa the same thing
and he told me,
so now I'll tell you in song.

It's the student of the apprentice
of the guy that makes the hole
for the key on the lock
on the collar of the dog

It's the student of the apprentice
of the guy that makes the hole
for the key on the lock
on the collar of the dog

Chorus:
but there's one thing that I know
and its the longest word in dutch
taught to me by my grandpa and its
haze-wind-hond-hals-band-slot-
sleutel-gaatjes-makers-stage-
lopers-leerling

Its
haze-wind-hond-hals-band-slot-
sleutel-gaatjes-makers-stage-
lopers-leerling

Verse:
So now I'm 21
and have grown a lot since then
back in Australia to study
where my grandparents lived way back when

So I went up to my grandpa
and asked him if it was true.
If that was the longest word in dutch
and he looked me in the eye,
put his hand on my shoulder
and said, Adam 'I made it all up!'

Chorus:
If there's one thing that I know
its not the longest word in dutch
taught to me by my grandpa and its
haze-wind-hond-hals-band-slot-
sleutel-gaatjes-makers-stage-
lopers-leerling

Its
haze-wind-hond-hals-band-slot-
sleutel-gaatjes-makers-stage-
lopers-leerling

  • Funny to see how your Dutch has improved since the first version of this song (still in Australia). I still want to come to one of your shows.. Too bad they're always so late and far from my home..

  • Hey hey my friend, you done real good with the long word and the crowd and the song, very entertaining

  • I'm pleased to see that you posted a video. It's been a while.
