This is a song I wrote in August 2025 based on the phrase 'it's all Greek to me' and other ways to say that things are incomprehensible in various languages.
The Greek phrases you hear at the beginning of the track are ways to say that something is not understood in Greek (generated by https://ttsconverter.io/): Εἶναι γιὰ μένα κινέζικα (It's Chinese to me), Εἶναι ἀλαμπουρνέζικα (It's gobbledygook) and Εν τούρτζικα που μιλάς; (Are you speaking Turkish?). More incomprehensible idioms.
Chorus
It's all Greek to me
It's all Greek to me
I don't understand a single word
It's all Greek to me
It's all Greek to me
and not my cup of tea
It might as well be Double Dutch
It really is too much
I don't understand a thing
It makes no sense to me
It's all a load of gibberish
It's all Greek to me
It's like a Spanish village
or a little Bohemian one
or is it like a Russian town?
It just makes me frown
It's quite beyond me
It's complete gobbledygook
It must be from an alien nation
and I only understand railway station
Here's a recording, made in August 2025, featuring me on vocals, tenor and baritone ukuleles, shaky egg and kazoo.
