Mirte Against the Big City
There's a little shop I know
On the edge of town
The city says it's got to go
They want to tear it down
No one wants to lose it
It's been here for so long
But they're bringing in the demo team
And soon it will be gone
And as they raise the wrecking ball up to the sky
The foreman looks and notices the owner still inside
They say Mirte, come on!
There's a wrecking crew on the lawn!
Oh, Mirte you're through!
There's a job that we're here to do!
Sorry, there's no point in trying to fight
So Mirte, give in!
There's no way you're gonna win!
Ah ha ha ha ha!
You can never win!
Mirte's never gonna cave
This is her domain
Her family's had this store for years and she ain't gonna change
She opens up the curtains
And much to our surprise
She's got a massive cannon and a strong look in her eyes!
And then she loads the cannonball and lights the fuse
The foreman tries to stand his ground
But he's shaking in his shoes!
They say Mirte, come on!
There's a wrecking crew on the lawn!
Oh Mirte, you're through!
There's a job that we're here to do!
Sorry, there's no point in trying to fight
So Mirte, give in!
There's no way you're gonna win!
Noo!
Muah ha ha ha ha
There's just no way
Let's break it down!
Take it
Take it slow
He he he, yeah
Not gonna take it anymore
Oh, Mirte you've got 'em exactly where you want 'em
You've got the upper hand, it's time to let 'em know
So point your cannon out there
Give those men a good scare
Show them you mean business and they've got to go!
And then she blasts the cannonball above their heads
The foreman waves his handkerchief and this is what he says
He says Mirte, we're done!
You've got all my men on the run!
Oh Mirte, we're through!
There's no point in fighting with you!
Sorry to bother you, we're going home
Oh Mirte, that's it!
We give up! You win! We quit!
Yeah, keep your stinking store
We'll be fine, we've got a coffee shop to go tear down!
Mirte, Mirte
Things will be alright
Mirte, Mirte
You just won this fight
On the edge of town
The city says it's got to go
They want to tear it down
No one wants to lose it
It's been here for so long
But they're bringing in the demo team
And soon it will be gone
And as they raise the wrecking ball up to the sky

They say Mirte, come on!
