I love the lyrics of The Smurf Song by Father Abraham!
Where are you all coming from?
From Smurfland where we belong
Are you talking just like us?
No, we Smurf, it's much less fuss
Do you do things that we don't dare?
We are real Smurfs so we don't care
This is the song with the nice refrain
Yes, we will sing it once again
The Flute Smurf begins
[Instrumental Interlude]
Yes, sing along. La la la...
And now, the second part. La la la...
And now all together. La la la ...
Can you crawl through a water tap?
Yes, we smurf through a water tap
And climb through a small keyhole?
Yes, and through a small keyhole
Can you play a tune on the flute?
Smurfing the flute, we think's so cute
Do Smurfs like to dance and groove?
Yes, but only to this tune
La la la...
Hey! You're Smurfing out of key!
Come on, sing in tune
Yes, sir!
La la la...
Tell me why are Smurfs so small?
We're not small, but you are tall
Do you wear your caps in bed?
Yes, our caps stay on our head
Do you go to sleep till dawn?
Yes, but first two times we yawn
Tell me, what is your request?
Smurfing that's what we like best

Father Abraham (AKA Vader Abraham) recorded different versions of the song in many languages. The song was a hit in languages other than English especially in Europe.
The Benelux or Benelux Union refers to the political, cultural, and economic union of three Western Europe states, namely Belgium, Netherlands, and Luxembourg. The name Benelux is derived from the combination of the first two or three letters of the names of each of these states. So "The Smurf Song" sold over a million copies in Belgium, Netherlands, and Luxembourg.

Smurf History: In May 1977, Father Abraham (Pierre Kartner) was asked to make a promotional song about The Smurfs. Thus, "The Smurf Song" was born. The record company initially only pressed 1,000 copies of the single since they were unsure of how successful it might be. However, all of the copies were sold within one day at a Schlager festival. After a repress, 400,000 singles were quickly sold. A full Smurfs album was then created, which sold 500,000 copies. The album was released in several dozen countries, including France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, and Sweden, and in various different languages. The album scored a number one hit in 16 countries. Subsequently, Kartner released more Smurf-themed albums, again in various countries and languages. In all, Kartner's Smurf works have sold around 17 million copies!
