Odious Odense |
| Odious Odense, city of my birth |
| Happy that day when ya vanish from the Earth! |
| Me for Copenhagen, me for Greece and Rome! |
| Every day’s an adventure when you’re not home |
| And, in a thousand years from today |
| Americans will come to play |
| In giant flying metal birds |
| To view our beauteous antiques |
| And hear some fearsome German words |
| And tour all Europe in two weeks |
| A marble marvel ev’ry hour |
| A stunning country ev’ry day |
| They’ll lope up Copenhagen’s tower |
| But they will never pay for- |
| Odious Odense, city of my birth |
| Happy that day when ya vanish from the Earth! |
| Me for Copenhagen, me for Greece and Rome! |
| Every day’s an adventure when you’re not home |
| And as a new spring dawns, hail to thee |
| The muse of our new century! |
| She wears a Garibaldi hat |
| Yet cares for Aristophanes |
| Part artist, part aristocrat |
| And lover of cacophonies |
| She telegraphs her laughter from |
| Her rococo locomotive |
| Well might some write that she is dumb |
| But she would never live in- |
| Odious Odense, city of my birth |
| Happy that day when ya vanish from the Earth! |
| Me for Copenhagen, me for Greece and Rome! |
| Every day’s an adventure when you’re not home |
