Dana's Garden

Once there was a land
a tiny little land
doubtful on a globe you this land finding, can.
larger ships were sailing every day and night
over Storebælt, Øresund and Kattegat.
Kids were rollerskating downtown by the lei,
Poor little Ninn got something awful in his eye.
But that was all over the day the bridge was done
Baby c’est la vie, all the roads leads now to Rome.

They used to call it Dana's Garden
But thats a long time ago
Only elder people living
can remember that by now

Everyone was talking in potato
none but themselves had a clue what they said now
there were words like rødgrød, kusse and Gajol
levertransplantation, Dankort and Kørestol.
Prime-ministers wife could go down and do the split
and the queen was giving vegetables with dip
Church buildings were empty, but on summer-shoes
sat they all together and waited for Good news

They used to call it Dana’s Garden
but thats a long time ago

Long time since that in there was a happy-wheel
Long time since the angles landed in descreet
Long time since they screamed like a bunch of sheep
on the good old Christianborg defense and inner keep
Long time since they stood behind each other back
long time since they succeeded as ignorants in sack
Long time since they all wore the exact same hat
Long time since, yes - but no more about that
