Oleanna

Lyrics

Oh, to be in Oleanna!
 That's where I'd like to be
 Than be bound in Norway
 And drag the chains of slavery
 Ole, Oleanna, Ole, Oleanna
 Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole, Oleanna
 In Oleanna land is free
 The wheat and corn just plant themselves
 Then grow a good four feet a day
 While on your bed you rest yourself
 Beer as sweet as Muchener
 Springs from the ground and flows away
 The cows all like to milk themsleves
 And hens lay eggs ten times a day
 Little roasted piggies
 Just rush about the city streets
 Inquiring so politely if
 A slice of ham you'd like to eat
 Aye, if you'd begin to live
 To Oleanna you must go
 The poorest wretch in Norway
 Becomes a Duke in a year or so
