Current song lyrics
Shine, shine, the light of good works shine <br />The watch before the city gates depicted in their prime <br />That golden light all grimy now <br />Three hundred years have passed <br />The worthy Captain and his squad of troopers standing fast <br /> <br />The artist knew their faces well <br />The husbands of his lady friends <br />His creditors and councillors <br />In armour bright, the merchant men <br /> <br />Official moments of the guild <br />In poses keen from bygone days <br />The city fathers frozen there <br />Upon the canvas dark with age <br /> <br />The smell of paint, a flask of wine <br />And turn those faces all to me <br />The blunderbuss and halberd-shaft <br />And Dutch respectability <br /> <br />They make their entrance one by one <br />Defenders of that way of life <br />The redbrick home, the bourgeoisie <br />Guitar lessons for the wife <br /> <br />So many years we suffered here <br />Our country racked with Spanish wars <br />Now comes a chance to find ourselves <br />And quiet reigns behind our doors <br />We think about posterity again <br /> <br />And so the pride of little men <br />The burghers good and true <br />Still living through the painter's hand <br />Request you all to understand
