about

A funny tune about life in a remote village in Bhutan

lyrics

DEWATHANG DITTY

VERSE 1
Went down to a town called Dewathanga
Where the days are long and the nights are longer
Where the chang is strong but the chanki’s stronger
If you drink too much of that then you're gonna be a goner

VERSE 2
You get a good view but the air is kind of smoky
It hangs in your lungs and your voice gets really croaky
The night life there is rather low key
Unless you like momos and karaoke

CHORUS
And there was rice for dinner and rice for tea
Rice for lunch with hot chilli
Rice in the morning and way too soon
A little sweet rice in the afternoon.

VERSE 3
Went down there to try and build a composting dunny
But it went so slow it really wasn’t funny
And it took so long that it nearly drove me witless
Nobody used it, they were all bored shitless

CHORUS

BRIDGE
B – O – R – I – N – G
Bad place to be if you are an injee
T - E – D – I – O – U – S
If want to have fun, go back to the U S

VERSE 4
Didn't know what to do when I ran right out of beers
So I tried to install 21 chandeliers
That bamboo scaffold's not as strong as it appears
Not a good look when you're 48 years

VERSE 5
Well there ain’t no secrets in Dewathang, yeah
Everyone in town seems to have a tongue
And the tongues wag loud and the tongues wag long
It doesn’t really matter if the rumour’s right or wrong

CHORUS

VERSE 1
