Baby went to Amsterdam 
She put a little money into travelling 
Now it's so slow, so slow 
Baby went to Amsterdam 
Four, five days for the big canal 
Now it's so slow, so slow 

And I was heading up north 
To a place that I know 
Eating well, sleeping well 
But still I was way, way out of line 
Amsterdam was stuck in my mind 

Oh, it's a kind of stupid groove 
That you can't ignore 
Oh, it's a kind of natural fact 
Sometimes you're just left to be alone 

Baby went to Amsterdam 
She put a little money into travelling 
Now it's so slow, so slow 
Baby went to Amsterdam 
Four, five days for the big canal 
Now it's so slow, so slow 

And I got to go away 
To a place of my own 
Working hard, fill my time 
From that day on, till I hit the bed 
Amsterdam was stuck in my head 

Oh, it's a kind of stupid groove 
That you can't ignore 
Oh, it's a kind of natural fact 
Sometimes you're just left to be alone 

Baby went to Amsterdam 
She put a little money into travelling 
Now it's so slow, so slow 
Baby went to Amsterdam 
Four, five days for the big canal 
Now it's so slow, so slow 

Baby went to Amsterdam 
She put a little money into travelling 
Now it's so slow, so slow 
Baby went to Amsterdam 
Four, five days for the big canal 
Now it's so slow, so slow, slow
