Fried Spam
I went on a trip to a sunny countrySometimes you long for a beach
It was a last minute ticket
Your own toilet and the price was right1
They packed us up in a small airplane
And gave instructions just in case you're not accustomed to the
Oxygen, the life jacket, the seat belt, and more
And when we arrived people started applauding
Deep within you could feel that this was a big day
One of the stewardesses announced
She said: Everything will go well
If everyone remains seated with seat belts on
And when you're ready to disembark
You have to remain calm, it's a requirement
A DC-9 airplane can be very tight
If everyone tries to get out at the same time
A woman in a funny dress cheerfully channeled us
To a bus, it was hot
-The hotel room has a fan, she said
As far as I know, and from the balconies
You can see the ocean
And you really want to go there
If I understand you right
-Of course! everyone shouted, as fast as possible
Our minds were obscured to the rest of what she said
We only saw shades of brown
Fried spam
Danes, Germans, and Brits
People lying down and people that sit
White, pink, and red
Brown, fat, or brittle
Buttocks, loin, and love handles
Fried on both sides, juicy, or tough
Nobody needs to stress
Only fry, only press
Fried spam
The hotel was poorly described
Most things were quite improvised
But you were willing to ignore it
The booze was cheap and there was a TV set
With four channels and a few more
Dubbed movies and bad picture quality
But who wanted to stay at the hotel
There is loads of fried spam at the disco tonight
The next morning we got breakfast
It was called continental
It consisted of an egg
A thin slice of bread
Some kind of coffee
It's hard to please everyone
Then it was finally time
To go to the beach
And try to find a spot in the sand
Where you could lie down and read
Grease up with oil, fry and sizzle
Fried spam

Fried on both sides, juicy, or tough
Nobody needs to stress
Only fry, only press

Sun protection factor does not matter
It's only for a week
You cannot get too much sun
The fall is coming, last chance
From morning to evening
The sun needs to go in all the places
Nobody needs to stress
Only fry, only press
Fried spam

- 1. This is a literal translation and it actually means just this. The author was clearly trying to rhyme, but what it means is of course a ticket with hotel accommodation
