Niin kauan kun ma muistan
on ollut humppaa
sen villit rytmit raikui
jo nuijasodassa
sitä oli paljon
ja se oli mahtavaa
mä vain tuumaan
yksin tuumaan
kuka humpan seisauttaa?
Nyt pitkätukat veivaa
jotain kevytmetallia
ja diskoissa ne soittaa
pelkkää puheohjelmaa
ja tukattomat tivaa
meiltä sotamuistoja
mä vain tuumaan
yksin tuumaan
kuka humpan seisauttaa?
Alakerran vihtahousu
raapii partaansa
yläkerran maitoparta
meinaa tehdä housuunsa
kun HUMPPA TULEE LUJAA
JA PÄÄHÄN KUMAUTTAA
mä vain tuumaan
yksin tuumaan
kuka humpan seisauttaa?
Humppa tulee lujaa
ja päähän kumauttaa
mä vain tuumaan
yksin tuumaan
kuka humpan seisauttaa?
(päälaulanta Onni Varis)Would someone please call a surgeon
who can crack my ribs and repair this broken heart
that's sure deserted for better company
I can't accept that it's over
and I will block the door
like a goalie attending the net
in the third quarter
of a tied game rivalry
so just say how to make it right
and I swear I'll do my best to comply
tell me am I right to think that there could be nothing better
than making you my bride and slowly growing old together
I feel I must interject here
you're getting carried away
feeling sorry for yourself
with these revisions and gaps in history
so let me help you remember
I've made charts and graphs
that should finally make it clear
I've prepared a lecture
on why I have to leave
so please back away and let me go
I can't my darling; I love you so
oh oh
tell me am I right to think that there could be nothing better
than making you my bride and slowly growing old together.
Don't you feed me lies about some idealistic future
You know I won't hear right if you keep tearing out the sutures
I know that I have made mistakes
and I swear I'll never wrong you again
You've got a lure I can't deny
but you've had your chance
so say goodbye
Say goodbye
