Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I once had a girl

Or should I say

She once had me?

[Verse 2]

She showed me her room

Isn't it good

Norwegian wood?

[Bridge]

She asked me to stay

And she told me to sit anywhere

So I looked around

And I noticed there wasn't a chair

[Verse 3]

I sat on a rug

Biding my time

Drinking her wine

[Verse 4]

We talked until two

And then she said

"It's time for bed"

[Bridge]

She told me she worked in the morning

And started to laugh

I told her I didn't

And crawled off to sleep in the bath

[Verse 5]

And when I awoke

I was alone

This bird had flown

[Verse 6]

So I lit a fire

Isn't it good

Norwegian wood?
