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.
