Paradise Oskar – Da Da Dam Song Words – Finnish entry for Eurovision 2011
Peter is smart, he knows each European country by heart
He likes to sit under an apple tree on his yard
And wait for an apple to fall
When Peter is nine,
His teacher tells him that this planet is dying
That someone needs to put an end to it all
And so when Peter comes home
He tells his mom
I’m going out in the world to save our planet
And I ain’t coming back until she’s saved
I’ll walk my way to see the King and parliament
If they don’t help I’ll do it by myself
I don’t wanna be
Da da dam, da da dam
Da da da da da da, da da dam
Peter is young
He tries to talk but no one listens to him
Everybody’s busy living and dying
Not thinking about what they’re doing
But look at the boy who
Went out in the world to save our planet
And he ain’t coming back until she’s saved
He walked his way to see the King and parliament
But they all turned their heads and walked away
Singing
Da da dam, da da dam
Da da da da da da, da da dam
Da da dam, da da dam
Da da da da da da, da da dam
And now I’m going out in the world to save our planet
And I ain’t coming back until she’s saved
I’m walking in the footsteps that young Peter made
And everybody is welcome to join
And sing with me
