Tulip Tornado

Chorus

 

Oh tulip tornado

Your kisses grenade-o

You’re like a volcano

My tulip tornado

 

1

Autumn twenty twenty

my heart felt empty.

So to Holland I hurried,

I needn’t have worried.

 

2

Along the canals in Utrecht

met a lass who wore specs.

No rhyme nor reason

made sense that season.

 

3

Being hooked on rare spices

was the least of her vices.

She was vocal and cool

and from the worst school.

 

4

Now a father of fifty,

fifty offspring and thrifty.

My first from Utrecht

christened Ruprecht.
