Mitch Mover (G. Kooymans) 1969 On The Double

Hello, this is a song about a guy called Mitch Mover
A strange little character, that’s what he is
Keeps collecting butterflies and bees and things like that you know

Early in the morning when the sun goes up
Mitch Mover awakes and he drinks a cup
Of tea and he takes his botanical case
On his back, oh boy what a chase

Butterflies and bees, they can’t stand him anymore

There he goes again, good luck and I’ll see you again
Tonight when he is tired of chasing hornets, he admires a boy
There he goes again, good luck and I’ll see you again
Tonight when he is tired of chasing hornets, he admires a boy

At night he selects all the insects
And carefully he puts pins through their heads
Peering through the gloom
It seems as if his room was a biological museum

Butterflies and bees, they won’t fly anymore

There he goes again, good luck and I’ll see you again
Tonight when he is tired of chasing hornets, he admires a boy
There he goes again, good luck and I’ll see you again
Tonight when he is tired of chasing hornets, he admires a boy

Mitch Mover…
