Thatā€™s a nice song. First time to hear it, thanks @Soberbilly for it and the history. Youā€™re a wealth of knowledge.

Boudewijn de Groot - Jimmy

Another one from my mumā€™s collection. The Jimmy from the song title is seen here on the cover of the album, riding with his pa whoā€™s one of the best known singers The Netherlands produced. I biked there may many times. Later Jimmy frequented the same bar I did. Small country.

How strong is the lonely cyclist
Who, bend over his steer,
against the wind
finds his own way?

How self assured the football player
who in front of the crowd
wins the match
thinks heā€™s the champion?

How satisfied the businessman laughs
without mercy who finds
his competitor beat,
himself almost going broke.

And Iā€™m sitting here happily
with the little one in my lap.
The sun is shining, there is no reason
with shitty weather and lots of wind
to go cycling with the kid.

Please donā€™t let him become a football player,
they might kick him half to death. (2X)

But rather even that than the bag on his head of the businessman,
heā€™ll only get worse and worse from that. (10X)
