Sist jag åkte jumbojet blues(original) |
| Sist jag åkte jumbojet |
| Då var vi åtta man |
| Och alla motorerna stannade |
| Och vi sa till varann: |
| Nu öppnar vi extratanken |
| Och startar igen, hörru du! |
| Men Stoffe kasta veven |
| Och så var vi bara sju! |
| Stoffe kasta veven |
| Och så var vi bara sju! |
| Så vi gjorde välan ett nytt försök |
| Och upp vi kom minsann |
| Men det var något fel på bränslet |
| Som vi köpt av en bränsleman |
| Så hela systemet pajade! |
| Rosenblad stod perplex |
| Hon fick en propp i förgasaren |
| Så var vi bara sex |
| Hon fick en propp i förgasaren |
| Så var vi bara sex |
| Så vi gjorde en överläggning |
| Och kom välan fram till att |
| Nu köper vi statens bränsle |
| Och betalar sedvanlig skatt |
| Men medborgare Person |
| Han tyckte att hut gick hem |
| Köpte sig därpå radhus |
| Och så var vi bara fem |
| Köpte sig därpå radhus |
| Och så var vi bara fem |
| Så vi stannade kvar på marken ett tag |
| Och tittade upp mot skyn |
| Och femton schyssta mekaniker |
| Gav oss en översyn |
| Och Inga-Maj for till föga |
| Skaffade sig en karl |
| Skaffade sig löständer |
| Så var vi bara fyra kvar |
| Skaffade sig löständer |
| Så var vi bara fyra kvar |
| (translation) |
| The last time I went on a jumbo jet |
| There were eight of us then |
| And all the engines stopped |
| And we said to each other: |
| Now we open the extra tank |
| And starts again, you hear! |
| But Stoffe threw the crank |
| And then there were only seven of us! |
| Stuff throw the crank |
| And then there were only seven of us! |
| So we well gave it another try |
| And up we came indeed |
| But there was something wrong with the fuel |
| Which we bought from a fuel man |
| So the whole system went haywire! |
| Rosenblad stood perplexed |
| She got a plug in the carburetor |
| So there were only six of us |
| She got a plug in the carburetor |
| So there were only six of us |
| So we made a deliberation |
| And well came to the conclusion that |
| Now we buy the government's fuel |
| And pay customary tax |
| But citizen Person |
| He thought hut went home |
| Then bought a townhouse |
| And then there were only five of us |
| Then bought a townhouse |
| And then there were only five of us |
| So we remained on the ground for a while |
| And looked up at the sky |
| And fifteen handsome mechanics |
| Give us a review |
| And Inga-Maj went to no avail |
| Got herself a husband |
| Got false teeth |
| So there were only four of us left |
| Got false teeth |
| So there were only four of us left |
