Ik zou je het liefste in een doosje willen doen
"Ik zou je het liefste in een doosje willen doen" is a Dutch song written by Annie M.G. Schmidt (lyrics) and Cor Lemaire (music) for the 1950s television show Pension Hommeles. Sung by Donald Jones, it was a hit and helped propel Jones to stardom.[1] The song remains a standard in Dutch cabaret and musical comedy.[2]
The song is one of Annie M.G. Schmidt's most popular tunes, and provided the title for a theater show about Schmidt (who died in 1995) that celebrates her 100th anniversary and contain 26 of her most beloved songs.[3][4] Ostensibly, the title is based on a phrase that Schmidt's mother used to say to her daughter.[5]
