Oleanna
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
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
