We were sleeping till You came along With your tiny heart You let us in the wooden house To share in all the wealth Don't you know it's true? Oh Norway-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay Norway-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay Seven figures leap the hungry mouths The beast, he comes to you He's a hunter for a lonely heart In the season of the sun Don't you know it's true? Norway-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay Norway-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay Where you thinking that you gotta run to now With the beating of a tiny heart? Hang on to the things that you're supposed to say Millions of stars, they open to your fate Norway ay-ay, ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay
