All the royal robbers stood in line
As the Swedish King his crown declined
Everybody wants to rock the boat
But when it rains, oh you give away your coat

If you dance across the ocean
You would see a mad, mad world
Oh boy, it is a mad, mad world
Oh boy, it is a mad, mad world

Did you read the news today, poor boy?
They've come to take away your favorite toy
Summer landed late one day in june
But winter paved its way that afternoon

If you dance across the ocean
You would see a mad, mad world
Oh boy, it is a mad, mad world
Oh boy, it is a mad, mad world

Wake your kids, it's way, way past the time
The thief left what he stole far, far behind
His toy gun was lost, never to be found
If you come across the ocean, someday you might find
We're busy selling Sweden to norwegians...
