Rough translation of the socially critical/humorous lyrics: There is a proud little people with tough skin on their hands. Two meters wide and hair between the teeth. In the vernacular, they call themselves the Danes. When they get going, even the Americans shudder. They are known for building the world's best bridges. When they build them, they get really huge. They build bridges on both belts and straits. Huge monuments in tons of concrete. Their neighbors have never seen them so big. They know their stuff when it comes to building bridges. And for the Danes, who have a thousand years of experience, is the envy of others a delightful revelation. So you build across borders from sound to belt and city. And when a bridge is finished, a new one is built. It borders on bridge-building hysteria! - The Danes' irrepressible mass bridge building! [Chorus] It's approaching bridge building hysteria! The Danes' irrepressible mass bridge building! Bridge after bridge, is it over soon? The Danes' irrepressible mass bridge building! It's approaching bridge building hysteria! The Danes' irrepressible mass bridge building! Bridge after bridge, is it over soon? The Danes' irrepressible mass bridge building! [Verse 2: Jimmy] But they build their bridges and build them with grace. Build so that they decorate without being pretty. And, though these people build bridges over the water, they need to build a bridge to so much else: There is no bridge between the common man and the Parliament. No bridge between politics and words that have wings. No bridge between courtesy and their parties. No bridge between them and their guests. There is no bridge between etiquette and statements. And they have no bridge between their generations. There is no bridge from thought to action. And there is no bridge from routine to transformation. Their neighbours come to see how they are doing. But there is no bridge from sweeping to their own door. And although these bridges are seen as castles in the air, it's the damn bridges that count! [Chorus] It's approaching bridge building hysteria! The Danes' irrepressible mass bridge building! Bridge after bridge, is it over soon? The Danes' irrepressible mass bridge building! It's approaching bridge building hysteria! The Danes' irrepressible mass bridge building! Bridge after bridge, is it over soon? The Danes' irrepressible mass bridge building! [Intermediate piece] Honorable citizens, I now declare this bridge open! [Chorus] It's approaching bridge building hysteria! The Danes' irrepressible mass bridge building! Bridge after bridge, is it over soon? The Danes' irrepressible mass bridge building! It's approaching bridge building hysteria! The Danes' irrepressible mass bridge building! Bridge after bridge, is it over soon? - If only they would build a bigger BREWERY! [Outro, Danish singing game like "London Bridge is Falling Down" ] "Bro, bro, brille" won't you tell me: When we grow up, will they still stand?
ÅÅÅ altså minder of den altid tilstedeværende forandring... Fedt nummer !!!!!
Den her CD var en af mine bedste gaver jeg fik til jul. Og jeg kommer stadig tilbage til YT for at lytte den dag i dag
En 25 år gammel klassiker! Men den føles endnu mere aktuel i dag. Ikke mindst med alle de idéer der er om at skabe flere unødvendige broer.
Den er sguda ikke 25 år gammel.... *Checke*.... Suk... Nevermind... 😢

Rough translation of the socially critical/humorous lyrics:
There is a proud little people with tough skin on their hands.
Two meters wide and hair between the teeth.
In the vernacular, they call themselves the Danes.
When they get going, even the Americans shudder.
They are known for building the world's best bridges.
When they build them, they get really huge.
They build bridges on both belts and straits.
Huge monuments in tons of concrete.
Their neighbors have never seen them so big.
They know their stuff when it comes to building bridges.
And for the Danes, who have a thousand years of experience,
is the envy of others a delightful revelation.
So you build across borders from sound to belt and city.
And when a bridge is finished, a new one is built.
It borders on bridge-building hysteria!
- The Danes' irrepressible mass bridge building!
[Chorus]
It's approaching bridge building hysteria!
The Danes' irrepressible mass bridge building!
Bridge after bridge, is it over soon?
The Danes' irrepressible mass bridge building!
It's approaching bridge building hysteria!
The Danes' irrepressible mass bridge building!
Bridge after bridge, is it over soon?
The Danes' irrepressible mass bridge building!

[Outro, Danish singing game like "London Bridge is Falling Down" ]
"Bro, bro, brille"
won't you tell me:
When we grow up, will they still stand?
Jeg brænder ikke for dannebrog,
jeg brænder for at danne bro!
Nummeret er 25 år gammel men budskabet holder stadig desværre 😂😂
25 år! FU*K, JEG ER GAMMEL! 😆
