Lyrics:
I kiss my mom goodbye in the drizzling rain
"Thanks for doing my laundry" - I get on the train
Groningen welcomes me; I say hi to Ome Loeks
Then I buy a magazine from the homeless clown
See the sun come out as I walk into town
Oh Groningen I love you
Can't stop thinking of you
No matter what I do
Grunnen on my mind
Trying to park my bike near the library
But 3.000 others were there before me...
At last I open my notebook, in my favourite reading room
I sit down, I look around me and I like what I see
Four hundred years, my university!
I'm in my room with a book in my lap, I try to concentrate...
then a knock at the door, and in comes my friend
yet another day in Groningen that will have no end:
Sunny afternoon, let's make an early start
First, have a couple of beers at the Grote Markt
We drink a toast to the alumni, our ambassadors all over the world
Then paint the town red until the early morning
Till we see the sun light up the Martinitoren
