I met her in a snowstorm 

I was outdoors plowing 

She just walked up to me and said 

'Hey boy, how's it going?' 



I admired her straight-forwardness 

and brushed away my fringe 

as a signal of well-being 

and accepting her challenge 



We went home to her place 

and cooked up some chili 

Warmed us from the inside 

'cause the outside was chilly 



We had to be quiet 

to not wake up her family 

but I made a high pitched sound 

when her cold fingers touched me 



She said "shhh 

please be quiet 

I know you don't want to 

but please deny it" 



She said "shhh 

please be quiet 

I know you don't want to 

but please deny it" 



When people think of Sweden 

I think they have the wrong idea 

like Cliff Richards who thought it was just 

porn and gonorrhea 



And Lou Reed said in the film 

"Blue in the face" 

that compared to New York City 

Sweden was a scary place 



They seem to have a point 

after meeting with this girl 

maybe not Cliff Richards 

but Lou has surely met her 



The doubt in her eyes 

when I said I wanted to kiss her 

for the sake of liking her 

and not because of the blizzard 



She said "shhh 

please be quiet 

I know you don't want to 

but please deny it" 



She said "shhh 

please be quiet 

I know you don't want me 

but please deny it" 



'Cause the cold Swedish winter 

is right outside 

and I just want somebody 

to hold me through the night 



The cold Swedish winter 

is right outside 

and I just want somebody 

to hold me through the night 



In two thousand years 

this place will be covered by ice 

and the people who will dig us up 

will be in for a big surprise 



After carefully studying 

our calcium-nourished bones 

they'll find enclosed 

our hearts of stone 



Singing the cold Swedish winter 

is right outside 

and I just want somebody 

to hold me through the night 



The cold Swedish winter 

is right outside 

and I just want somebody 

to hold me through the night
