Not just a flower in your hair
there must be love in your heart
no flowers will prevent lovers to part
no sweets in your mouth will bring peace to your mind
there's got to be a little kindness
and of course a little peace
before you wear your flowers
and before you eat your sweets.

Not just bells on your legs
will keep you on right tracks
the steps that you take
may be big mistakes.
Not a painting on your skin
tells you apart from your friends
you don't feel better with your marks
as painted fruits and hearts
you must be right inside your chest
to discern you from the rest.

Ben je boos pluk een roos
en zet 'm op je hoed
't is een oud verhaal
maar het doet 't nog steeds goed
draag ene bloem in je haar
en wees lief voor elkaar,
zing maar la la.
