lyrics

I met a big leg girl from the Netherlands and she split with me her smoke and away she went.
Could've been with her that night when she called me to partake of all the exports of her country, and her angel headed ways.

But I was leaving by the morning light.
And by that time that girl was out of sight.
So Scandinavian girl you know I'll keep you warm for tonight

I don't wish that I weren't lonely I just wish I were more tired of all these cords that hold me back from all these foreign girls admired.
Just a pair a day ago before the cold came and swept me back.
So many of them loved and lost, I forgot how to keep track.

But I was leaving by the morning light.
And by that time that girl was out of sight.
So Scandinavian girl you know I'll keep you warm for tonight

I spent far too little time with her Marlboro mouth and her cheeks turned red and her hair all blowin' South.
And to her rhythm I did trod as we walked the red bluffs way upon that day

But I was leaving by the morning light.
And by that time that girl was out of sight.
So Scandinavian girl you know I'll keep you warm for tonight
