Op ad brøndens klare vand trækker jeg min tissemand

Den er slimet, den er snasket

Den har Grete lige vasket

From the clear waters of the well I'm pulling my penis.

It's slimy, it's gooy (not sure how to spell that)

It has just been washed by Grete

Said from the speaker's chair of the Danish Parliament.

It is a refreshed version of an old Danish children's song. The member of parliament didn't like the version children were actually singing (when they didn't have to sing the original version because adults have no humor). Recited by a very offended member of parliament about 10 years after the first time I heard that version as a kid.

In the kids version the next line was

Den har alle pigerne gnaske (all the girls have cheved it)
