[Verse 1]
I once had a girl
Or should I say, she once had me?
She showed me her room
"Isn't it good, Norwegian wood?"

[Bridge]
She asked me to stay and she told me to sit anywhere
So I looked around and I noticed there wasn't a chair

[Verse 2]
I sat on a rug
Biding my time, drinking her wine (Drinking her)
We talked until two
And then she said, "It's time for bed" (It's time)

[Bridge]
She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh
I told her I didn't and crawled off to sleep in the bath (In the bath)

[Verse 3]
And when I awoke
I was alone, this bird had flown
So I lit a fire
Isn't it good, Norwegian wood?
