On my first day in town we saw the king 
He was dressed in a suit with a bright blue tie 
And it matched his eyes 
And when ours met I sighed 

Took a boat or a ferry to island 
There were gardens and trees and balloons in the sky 
And we knew it was right 
It wasn't only the light 

Rode our bikes up and down the streets so wide 
Don't lock 'em up, no they'll be just fine 
And I said oh my, my! 
I can't believe it! I cried 

This must be paradise 
But it's not, no, no, no 
But it's sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet oh Sweden 
Had a breakfast of cheese, yoghurt too 

All this fat but you're so skinny to boot 
You said it's in my genes 
Yeah we're so skinny we're mean 
Took the train every day from your suburb yeah right 

Only ten minutes and we're south centre tonight 
And we don't have to pay 
We sneak in free every day 
Schnapps on the house at the bars you like 

Your friends stand in line and practice English all night 
And I like them: they're nice 
All so blonde and precise 
This must be paradise 

Oh it's not, no, no, no 
But it's sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet oh Sweden.
