Gray hair
00:19
Glasses
00:21
Suitcase
00:23
Humble
00:26
Clever
00:28
And constantly working for peace
00:30
Uganda
00:33
Congo
00:35
And the Oslo treaty plan
00:38
Oh my God, what a plan
00:43
Not as famous as Gahr Støre
00:47
Not a daddy's boy like Jens
00:51
But when handgrenades are flying
00:54
There's just one man you can trust
00:58
When there's war and all is hell
01:01
Send in Jan Egeland!
01:05
The United Nations superhero man
01:08
Mad dictator with a gun
01:15
Send in Jan Egeland!
01:18
Oh, how I wish...
01:22
I was Jan Egeland!
01:26
Blue eyes
01:31
Firm hands
01:33
Nice legs
01:35
Clean shaved body
01:38
Drinking his protein shakes
01:43
Spray tan
01:46
Skin cream
01:48
And buttocks like he was eighteen
01:52
He's a peacekeeping machine.
01:55
And he stares into the mirror
01:59
Flexing muscles in the night
02:04
And he says: "Boy, I think you're ready
02:07
..to protect some human rights"
02:12
When there's war and all is hell
02:13
Bring in Jan Egeland!
02:17
The United Nations superhero man
02:20
He plays golf with Kofi Annan
02:28
And looks at maps with George Cloon
02:32
Oh, how I wish...
02:35
That I was Jan Egeland!
02:38
Egeland (Egeland!)
02:58
Egeland (Egeland!)
03:00
Egeland (Egeland!)
03:02
When he's sad he goes to funerals
03:10
In unusually heavy rain
03:15
Large amounts of water in his face
03:18
But that doesn't hide his pain
03:23
He breaks down just like a homo
03:26
And starts crying just like a girl
03:31
But I guess you can cry and still be a man
03:34
If your day job is saving the world!
03:37
When there's war and all is hell
03:41
Send in Jan Egeland!
03:45
He's a macho musclepumping,
03:48
crying god!
03:52
If there's one man you should trust
03:56
It is the Janny-boy
04:00
Oh, how I wish...
04:03
That I was Jan Egeland!
04:07

Oh my God, what a plan

Send in Jan Egeland!

Blue eyes
Firm hands
Nice legs
Clean-shaved body
Drinking his protein shakes
Spray tan
Skin cream
And buttocks like he was eighteen
He's a peacekeeping machine.
And he stares into the mirror
Flexing muscles in the night
And he says: "Boy, I think you're ready
..to protect some human rights"
When there's war and all is hell
Bring in Jan Egeland!
The United Nations superhero man
He plays golf with Kofi Annan
And looks at maps with George Clooney
Oh, how I wish...
That I was Jan Egeland!
Egeland (Egeland!)
Egeland (Egeland!)
Egeland (Egeland!)
When he's sad he goes to funerals
In unusually heavy rain
Torrents of water on his face
But that doesn't hide his pain
He breaks down like a man
And starts crying like a child
But I guess you can cry and still be strong
If your day job is saving the world!
When there's war and all is hell
Send in Jan Egeland!
He's a macho muscle-pumping,
crying force of good!
If there's one man you should trust
It is the Janny-boy
Oh, how I wish...
That I was Jan Egeland!
