Ikea |
Long ago in days of yore |
It all began with a god named Thor |
There were Vikings and boats |
And some plans for a furniture store |
It’s not a bodega, it’s not a mall |
And they sell things for apartments smaller than mine |
As if there were apartments smaller than mine |
Ikea: Just some oak and some pine and a handful of Norsemen |
Ikea: Selling furniture for college kids and divorced men |
Everyone has a home |
But if you don’t have a home you can buy one there |
So rent a car or take the bus |
Lay your cash down and put your trust |
In the land where the furniture folds to a much smaller size |
Billy the bookcase says hello |
And so does a table whose name is Ingo |
And the chair is a ladder-back birch but his friends call him Karl |
Ikea: Just some oak and some pine and a handful of Norsemen |
Ikea: Selling furniture for college kids and divorced men |
Everyone has a home |
But if you don’t have a home you can buy one there |
Ikea: Plywood, brushed steel |
Ikea: Meatballs, tasty |
Ikea: Allen wrenches |
All of them for free |
All of them for me |
I’m sorry I said Ikea sucks |
I just bought a table for 60 bucks |
And a chair and a lamp |
And a shelf and some candles for you |
I was a doubter just like you |
Till I saw the American dream come true |
In New Jersey, they got a goddamned Swedish parade |
Ikea: Just some oak and some pine and a handful of Norsemen |
Ikea: Selling furniture for college kids and divorced men |
Everyone has a home |
But if you don’t have a home you can buy one there |
