[Verse 1]
Honi soit qui mal y pense
Wo kann offen etwa sonst
Dos cervezas, por favor
Zu heisen, yes doch
Ha ha, sir, et paradis
Jacqueteure, au secours, mon taille
Europa is a OK, hola ¿y el puerto?

[Chorus]
Ba-ba, ba-ba, ba-ba, ba-ba
Ba-ba, ba-ba, ba-ba, ba-ba
People in Europe
Ba-ba, ba-ba, ba-ba, ba-ba
Ba-ba, ba-ba, ba-ba, ba-ba
People in Europe, ah

[Verse 2]
Ciao ciao bella, Monaco
Bon voyage in Sverige
Kom nu med, vi far dricka mañana
Honi soit qui mal y pense
Wo kann etwa sonst
Dos cervezas, por favor
Svenskar in James Baum

[Chorus]
Ba-ba, ba-ba, ba-ba, ba-ba
Ba-ba, ba-ba, ba-ba, ba-ba
People in Europe
Ba-ba, ba-ba, ba-ba, ba-ba
Ba-ba, ba-ba, ba-ba, ba-ba
People in Europe, ah
Ba-ba, ba-ba, ba-ba, ba-ba
Ba-ba, ba-ba, ba-ba, ba-ba
People in Europe
Ba-ba, ba-ba, ba-ba, ba-ba
Ba-ba, ba-ba, ba-ba, ba-ba
People in Europe, ah

Blur

British rock group Blur formed in 1988 and began life as a fairly unsuccessful shoegaze/madchester outfit, but the band quickly developed into becoming one of the leaders of the massive 1990s Britpop scene.

Their rivalry with contemporaries Oasis culminated in one of the most famous chart battles in British history – one which Blur won when “Country House” outsold Oasis’s “Roll With It” by 50,000 copies, giving Blur their first #1 single in the process.

Following this, the group embarked on a new musical direction, deliberately heading away from their trademark Britpop sound and instead taking influences from American alternative rock, a sound which earned them new fans in the US and gave them their second UK #1: “Beetlebum” in 1997.
