in 2007 vertaald als De straat van de zoete verwachting (Ernst Jansz, Molenbeekstraat)

Sweet Expectation Street

once in a lifetime
a woman’s a girl
hold on to daddy!
who rules the world
a mother to feed her
a mother to care
a father to carry her
anywhere

once in a lifetime
an innocent girl
sayin’: give me the eyes
to see the world
give me the rainbows
the stars in the sky
give me the answers
and the reason why

but rainbows vanish in blue skies
and every answer is a broken dream
and daddy’s just a little man
who cries for me

man made up fairytales to chat up a girl
promises wonders and heaven on earth
he’s tellin’ me fortunes
holdin’ my hand
givin’ more answers than a woman can stand

and rainbows vanish in blue skies
and every answer is a broken dream
and daddy’s just a little man
who cries for me

sweet expectation suite
all the girls in the world
have a date on the corner of
Sweet Expectation Street
