One day I was sad and penniless
I was expelled from work because of this recession
I scratched my head, where will I get even one note
I couldn't do anything but cry, but I made up from that

I'll put my tears in a bottle and sell them to Sahara
Where that dry, bare ground needs them

Even the president heard of my idea
here's the solution for export problems, he thought
Production would be cheap, Finland is quite depressed country
And you'll get bigger money from Europe than Africa

So let's put tears in bottles
Let's sell them to Baden-Baden
Where Finland's sorrows are pumped in fountains
Yes, let's put tears in bottles, by train to Baden-Baden
Where tourist and another bathes in them

So nation cried and economy got back to it's feet
And happiness begun, but tears of happiness aren't enough
Government thinks long how to solve this crisis
Until someone remembered how alcohol taxes are taken away

And again put tears in bottles
let's sell them to Baden-Baden
Where Finland's sorrows are pumped in fountains
Yes, let's put tears in bottles, by train to Baden-Baden
Where tourist, and others, bathe in them, ooh
