Jožin z bažin



Jožin z bažin is a song written by Czech musician and comedian Ivan Mládek and recorded by his group, Banjo Band, in 1977. The lyrics:

Joe from the swamps I'm going to camp to Orava with my Skoda 100
I'm in a hurry so I risk, I'm going through Moravia
That ghost rages there, stands out from the swamps
It eats mostly Praguers,
his name is Joe Joe from the swamps, crawling through the swamp
Joe from the swamps, approaching the village
Joe from the swamps, has a grudge against
Joe from the swamps, bites, suck and choke
Only one thing could work who would think...a powdering aircraft
I was driving through a village on my way to Vizovice
The chairman welcomes me, talk to me with slivovice
If somebody brings here Joe, alive or dead I will give him my daughter and a half of JZD
Joe from the swamps, crawling through the swamp
Joe from the swamps, approaching the village
Joe from the swamps, has a grudge against
Joe from the swamps, bites, suck and choke
I say, hey chairman, give me an aircraft and powder
I will bring Joe to you, I don't see any problems
Chairman agreed and I raise in the morning
And powder from aircraft covered Joe Joe from the swamps, he is all white-covered
Joe from swamps runs out from mud
Joe from swamps hits by a rock
Joe from swamps, it is all over now
I catch him up, I'm holding him, yahooooo every money is good,
I sell him to ZOO
