Lyrics

Well I bought a house It's a beautiful house In Marais Road Panorama It's got Sardinian doors And Pinegleem floors The walls are in Spanish plaster You should see the gate Hell it's a nice gate In the shape of a wagon wheel To protect us from harm There's a burglar alarm It's safer that way I feel I said, "Ooh, well I'm living the suburban dream Ja, I'm mowing my lawns Keeping my motor cars clean Ah, this is the life With the kids and the wife But somehow, somehow, somehow It's not what it seems It's not what it seems" Dis 'n wonderlike huis Met moderne kombuis It's sure to impress my friends 'Cause the house is quite large With a double garage To park my Mercedes-Benz It's got a brand new roof An asbestos roof The guttering is painted blue And round the back There's a braaivleis plek For the girl there's a separate loo I said, "Ooh, well I'm living the suburban dream Ja, I'm mowing my lawns I'm keeping my motor cars clean Oh, this is the life With the kids and the wife But somehow, somehow, somehow It's not what it seems Oh, it's not what it seems" You should see the lounge Hell it's a nice lounge With a floral rug On the floor Oh, we bought a new suite With ball 'n' claw feet And hung beads where there should be a door And in the kitchen there's a clock It's an old cuckoo clock With a wood pendulum that swings And a funny little bird Whose voice I've never heard Who comes out, but never sings Yoh, there's a funny little bird Whose voice I've never heard Who comes out, but never sings
