[Verse]
Countryâs gone crazy - people are blind
forced to buy boxes - when thereâs no boxes to find
just million dollar lean tooâs
whereâs the contract to sign
gotta noose around my neck - but this box is mine
[Chorus]
jippee jippee yeah - up to my eyeballs in debt
jippee jippee yeah - hope there is no regret
everybody says - this country is sooooo nice
jippee jippee yeah - welcome to paradise
[Verse]
now I am sitting in my box, on Marine Parade
watching 20.000 cars passing by from morning till late
but I donât really care, cause the view is ok
neighbours in his toilet and itâs a beautiful day.
[Chorus]
jippee jippee yeah - up to my eyeballs in debt
got a million dollar home - and hope it was a good bet
everybody says - this country is sooooo nice
jippee jippee yeah - welcome to paradise
[Verse]
when I come from work, I like to swim in the sea
gotta put my wetsuit on to avoid the poo and the pee
but I donât really mind, cause when I close my eyes
I can dream about a clean blue sea, just like paradise
[Chorus]
jippee jippee yeah - up to my eyeballs in shit
jippee jippee yeah - but swimming keeps me fit
everybody says - this country is sooooo nice
jippee jippee yeah - welcome to paradise
[Verse]
the rivers and the lakes are looking sadly green
minister says itâs swimmable but I am not that keen
cause all the farmers cows are dumping in the stream
and I donât really want to get sick - if you know what I mean
[Chorus]
So I sing...
jippee jippee yeah - up to my eyeballs in shit
jippee jippee yeah - and I m so sick of it
cause everybody says - we are so clean and green
welcome to paradise - now you know what I mean.
