Potverdekke, it’s great to be a Belgian
I’m not English, I’m not French and I’m not Dutch
(I’m not Spanish, Portuguese or German)
I’m a Belgian, so thank you very much!
As I walk along the streets
With my mayonnaise and frites
You can tell I’m as happy as can be
With my Duvel in my hand
Then you must understand
I’m a Belgian, so nothing worries me!
Potverdekke, it’s great to be a Belgian
I’m not English, I’m not French and I’m not Dutch
(I’m not Irish, Italian or Danish)
I’m a Belgian, so thank you very much
Without the Belgians there would be no saxophone
no Tintin, captain Haddock or Poirot
and you’ll excuse me if I ‘ve missed
anybody of the list
These are the only Belgians that I know!
Potverdekke, it’s great to be a Belgian
I’m not English, I’m not French and I’m not Dutch
(I’m not Finnish, Austrian or Swedish)
I’m a Belgian, so thank you very much!
Potverdekke, it’s great to be a Belgian

Now the English egg and bacon’s not so bad
Especially since all their cows went mad
But if they’ve never tasted mussels
On the Grand Place down in Brussels
It’s no wonder they’re feeling very sad!
Potverdekke, it’s great to be a Belgian
I’m not English, I’m not French and I’m not Dutch
(I’m not Irish, Italian or Danish)
I’m a Belgian, so thank you very much
I’m a Belgian, I’m not Irish, I’m not Greek
I don’t drink Guinness or Retsina, I drink Kriek!
On the Schelde or the Meuse
You find me drinking Gueuze
Or Leffe or Chimay or Lambik!
Potverdekke, it’s great to be a Belgian
I’m not English, I’m not French and I’m not Dutch
(I’m not Spanish, Portuguese or German)
I’m a Belgian, so thank you very much
Potverdekke, it’s great to be a Belgian
I’m not English, I’m not French and I’m not Dutch
(And me, I’m not a Luxemburger)
I’m a Belgian, so thank you very much
