Lyrics:



I come from a country that’s hard to find
Somewhere near the icy pole
But though we are freezing, please bear in mind
Sweden’s gonna warm your soul
Our people are cold, but our elks are hot!
A horny horde in every fjord
Our moose may be loose, but they hit the spot!
On our Swedish Smorgasbord
A tour of our nation is certain to impress
We’ve quite a few surprises for you
A Swedish chef and Death playing chess
And a girl with a dragon tattoo
Pah-pah-poo!
By winning this contest you get the chance
To host a show you can’t afford
But then sell your country through song and dance
Here’s our Swedish smorgasbord!
We’re green to our planet, with eco-pride
Recycling is in our hearts.
Mamma Mia! Ikea has gone world-wide!
Good luck assembling all the parts!
We’re strict and we’re structured, and seldom vent
Don’t show emotion; never whine!
Not easy to please, but we’re quite content
When we get to stand in line!
Does anyone know what this line is for?
Well… I’d better stay and find out…
Proper and polite and private is our style
Never ever talk on a train!
And if we see a stranger throw us a smile
He’s either a drunk or insane!
Every day we face it
Fly on up and taste it!
Try our Swedish Smorgasbord!
Beneath the midnight sun
The blondes have all the fun
And if you long for stockings, say “Amen!”
From Vikings we’re descended
It’s frightening what those men did
But see how we’ve evolved since then…
Our roles are reversing
Our daddies are nursing
In all of our cities
Though men don’t have titties
They can still stay at home to raise the kids
And our girls can handle their balls With the best kickline of them all…
You may now kiss the groom
Follow our example!
Come and try a sample
Of our Swedish Smorgasbord!
It’s time for some dinner – we pray you’ll stay!
Come and try our favourite course!
We eat all our meatballs the Nordic way:
Seasoned with a hint of horse
For Strindberg
And Bergman
And Celsius – all rise!
For Thor and Björn Borg
And the great Nobel Prize!
There’s Volvo
And Garbo
The best lingonberry
And all of our problems
Digesting our dairy!
We gave you Carola, and Waterloo
And Diggi-Loo – who all adored
We’ll take you to heaven, Euphoria too…
Come and join our party
Come on up and chill
There’s room for everybody
Gravad lax and dill
On our:
Aquavit, crayfish
Yucky salty liquorice
Randy Scandinavian race –
With H&M ’n’ Ace of Base –
Our hurdy-gurdy-super-duper
Fab-as-ABBA-Super-Trouper
Swedish Smorgasboooooooooooord!
