Bright Blue Tie |
| On my first day in town we saw the king |
| He was dressed in a suit with a bright blue tie |
| And it matched his eyes |
| And when ours met I sighed |
| Took a boat or a ferry to island |
| There were gardens and trees and balloons in the sky |
| And we knew it was right |
| It wasn’t only the light |
| Rode our bikes up and down the streets so wide |
| Don’t lock 'em up, no they’ll be just fine |
| And I said oh my, my! |
| I can’t believe it! |
| I cried |
| This must be paradise |
| But it’s not, no, no, no |
| But it’s sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet oh Sweden |
| Had a breakfast of cheese, yoghurt too |
| All this fat but you’re so skinny to boot |
| You said it’s in my genes |
| Yeah we’re so skinny we’re mean |
| Took the train every day from your suburb yeah right |
| Only ten minutes and we’re south centre tonight |
| And we don’t have to pay |
| We sneak in free every day |
| Schnapps on the house at the bars you like |
| Your friends stand in line and practice English all night |
| And I like them: they’re nice |
| All so blonde and precise |
| This must be paradise |
| Oh it’s not, no, no, no |
| But it’s sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet oh Sweden. |
