Lyrics
He asked me to stay and he told me to sit anywhere
But I looked around and I noticed there wasn't a chair
I once had a guy
Or should I say
He once had me
He showed me his room
Isn't it good
Norwegian wood?
He asked me to stay and he told me to sit anywhere
But I looked around and I noticed there wasn't a chair
I sat on the rug
Biding my time
Drinking his wine
We talked until two
And then he said
It's time for bed
He told me he worked in the morning and started to laugh
I told him I didn't and crawled out to sleep in the bath
And, when I awoke
I was alone
This bird had flown
So, I lit a fire
Isn't it good
Norwegian wood?
He asked me to stay and he told me to sit anywhere
But I looked around and I noticed there wasn't a chair
I sat on the rug
Biding my time
Drinking his wine
We talked until two
And then he said
It's time for bed
