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 |
