Amsterdam Lyrics

looking good through the window
shinin' red and blue light
a little thick in the bottom
but still lookin' alright, yeah
got a pocket full of money
got me a long night ahead
a quick stop in the Bulldog
score me some Panama red, yeah
wham, bam, oh Amsterdam
yea, yea, yea
stone you like nothin' else can
yea, yea, yea
hot damn, roll an Amsterdam
yea, yea, yea
if she can't, then nothin' else can
caught a plane outta Moscow
spent one cold night in Berlin
it's a long hard way
but I'm a'comin', back again, yea
wham, bam, oh Amsterdam
yea, yea, yea
stone you like nothin' else can
yea, yea, yea
yea come on now, roll an Amsterdam
yea, yea, yea
if she can't, then nothin' else can
yea, yea, yea.....
wham, bam, oh Amsterdam
yea, yea, yea
stone you like nothin' else can
yea, yea, yea
hot damn, roll an Amsterdam
yea, yea, yea
if she can't, then nothin' else can
yea, yea, yea
wham, bam, oh Amsterdam
yea, yea, yea
you don't have to worry about the man
yea, yea, yea
hot damn, burn an Amsterdam yea
yea, yea, yea
stone me like nothin' else can
yea, yea, yea

I've always thought of it as a woman he sees dancing through the window- "a little thick in the bottom, but still lookin' alright." I don't know, that's just what I've thought. I love this song though- it always gets me pumped.

"a little thick in the bottom but still lookin' alright" IS about a woman - a prostitute in a window of the red light district, "looking good through the window ". And she is getting a big butt, but hey, Sammy would still do her.

Remember, prostitution is also legal in Amsterdam.

This is about walking around Amsterdam, looking at, or maybe using the services of, prostitutes. and smoking weed. But mostly about smoking weed.

Amsterdam is about smokin' weed. Amsterdam is in the Netherlands, where it's legal. "looking good through the window shinin' red and blue light a little thick in the bottom but still lookin' alright, yeah " That's a bong.

@slushpizza Actually that part of the song is about the Red Light district in Amsterdam where prostitution is legal.

Yeah, this is clearly about smoking herb.

"score me some Panama red" "roll/burn an Amsterdam" "stone you like nothin' else can"

That's pretty straight-forward =)

Also, Eddie and his brother (the drummer), Alex, are from Amsterdam, but I doubt they did any drugs, they were 6 and 8 when they left!

I thought it was coming off of the NYS thruway exit at Amsterdam and a trooper car was behind him. It's a sharp bend and don't roll the car. He wrote that 55 song after driving on the Northway. Did I hit it on the head or what?
