You come here all the time
And you know all the faces
And you think that you can free them
And you feel that you must save us
But I say to you, my friend
It will not matter in the end
Yes, I say to you my friend
You must relax, relax
Because these things that you say,
They do not bother me…
You worry about the government
And you fret about the air
You talk for miles about the economy
And then you talk about your lily white hair
Well, I say “What is it all for?” and
“Why do you do these crazy things?”
I do not understand at all,
No, no I do not understand
These things you say,
They do not bother me…
You run around all over town
With your hands held to the sky
Always asking to the Lord,
“Why, why, why, why, why?”
Well, I will tell you what to do
Just take your self downtown
Walk in through that red door
And gather all your friends around you
Tell that man behind the counter
(with a wide and toothy grin)
To pour you out your pleasure
(for me, I’ll have limoncello!)
Now, raise your glass up high
And toast to all your friends.
Raise your glass up higher now
And shout into the wind
“Skåltamesaltannnnnnnnnnnn!!!”
