Dream Most Wild

The Village is Dead

There are no gnomes in Sweden 
No reports that anybody down there has ever seen them 
There are no gnomes in Sweden 
No reports that anybody down there has ever seen them  

No little hats, no jolly beards, or rotted teeth  
and not one child has ever been reported being eaten 
Not one child  

Just like there are no Fins there in Finland 
Now while at first that may sound grand,  
it's just because they've all been eaten by the hungry gnomes who aren't aren't in Sweden  

There are no gnomes in Sweden 
No reports that anybody down there has ever seen them  
(They've never seen them) 
There are no gnomes in Sweden 
No reports that anybody down there has ever seen them  
(They've never seen them)  

Now Viking is as Viking does 
and Vikings can't be beaten 
And as that is, it's most unwise 
to try to eat Norwegians 

But hungry gnomes they come and go, 
a belly-full they're feeding 
Pockets lined with Swedish gold, 
they nash their broken teeth and scold 
They lick their bloody lips and cry 
"we'll eat you up until you die"  

There are no gnomes in Sweden 
No reports that anybody down there has ever seen them  
(They've never seen them) 
There are no gnomes in Sweden 
No reports that anybody down there has ever seen them  
(They've never seen them)  
No little hats... no jolly beards...   

So if you're Swedish, rest assured, 
your bureaucrats have bought them all 
And logic tells us now that you certainly can't be Finnish 
So 'fore I finnish this tale of woe,  
if you're a Viking, maybe you'll take a liking to us  
and leave us alone now 
for we are the people laying low  
the not so tasty Danish if the truth be told. 
(the not so tasty Danish, the not so tasty Danish if the truth be told)  

There are no gnomes in Sweden 
No reports that anybody down there has ever seen them 
There are no gnomes in Sweden 
No reports that anybody down there has ever seen them  
No little hats... no jolly beards...
