Petra Mede - Swedish Smörgåsbord lyrics

[Petra] 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 ev'ry fjord Our moose may be loose, but they hit the spot On our Swedish Smörgåsbord A tour of our nation is certain to impress We've quite a few surprises for you A Swedish chef and d**h 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 Smörgåsbord We're green to our planet with eco-pride Recycling is in our hearts Mamma Mia Ikea has gone world-wide Good luck a**embling 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 [Spoken] Does anyone know what this line is for? Well, I 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 Everyday we face it Fly on up and taste it Try our Swedish Smörgåsbord (Swedish Smörgåsbord) Beneath the midnight sun The blondes have all the fun And if you long for stockings, say "Amen!" From Vikings we descended It's frightenin' 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 [Instrumental] [Spoken] You may now kiss the groom Follow our example Come and try a sample Of our Swedish Smörgåsbord 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 [Girl]: Oh look it's Carola! [Carola]: Ooh yeah, ooh Captured by a love storm [Petra] 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 Gravadlax and dill On our aquavit, crayfish Yucky salty liquorice Randy Scandinavian race With H&M and Ace of Base Our hurdy-gurdy, super-duper Fab-as-Abba, Super-Trouper Swedish Smörgåsbord!
