Waving Flags
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You are astronomical fans of alcohol
So welcome in
Are rising in the East and setting in the West
All waving flags
We're all waving flags now
Waving flags
But don't be scared
And you, you will be here for a while
And it's all a joke
Oooh, it's all a joke
Ooooooh
Are here of legal drinking age, on minimum wage
Well, welcome in
From across the Vistula, you've come so very far
All waving flags
We're all waving flags now
Waving flags
But don't be scared
And you, you will be here for a while
And it's all a joke
Oooh, it's all a joke
Oooh
Beer is not dark
Beer is not light
It just tastes good
Especially tonight
(Oh welcome in)
So welcome in, we are barbarians
Oh welcome in, across the Carpathians
Oh welcome in, we are from Slavia
Oh welcome in, across the stadion
Oh we can't fail, not with Czech ecstasy
No we won't fail, not with Czech ecstasy
So welcome in
