[Verse 1]
I once had a girl, or should I say, Gshe once had Ame

She Amasked me to stay and she told me to sit anyDwhere
So AmI looked around and I noticed there wasn't a BmchairE

AI sat on a rug, biding my time, Gdrinking her Awine
We talked until two, and then she said, Git's time for Abed
[Verse 4]
She Amtold me she worked in the morning and started to Dlaugh
I Amtold her I didn't and crawled off to sleep in the BmbathE  
[Verse 5]
AAnd when I awoke, I was alone, Gthis bird had Aflown
So, I lit a fire, isn't it good, GNorwegian Awood
