|
Long ago in days of yore |
|
It all began with a god named Thor. |
|
There were Vikings and boats |
|
And some plans for a furniture store. |
|
It's not a bodega, it's not a mall |
|
And they sell things for apartments smaller than mine |
|
As if there were apartments smaller than mine |
|
Ikea: just some oak and some pine and a handful of Norsemen |
|
Ikea: selling furniture for college kids and divorced men |
|
Everyone has a home |
|
And if you don't have a home you can buy one there |
|
So rent a car or take the bus |
|
Lay your cash down and put your trust |
|
In the land where the furniture folds to a much smaller size |
|
Billy the bookcase says hello |
|
And so does a table whose name is Ingo |
|
And the chair is a ladder-back birch but his friends call him Karl |
|
Ikea: just some oak and some pine and a handful of Norsemen |
|
Ikea: selling furniture for college kids and divorced men |
|
Everyone has a home |
|
And if you don't have a home you can buy one there |
|
Ikea: plywood, brushed steel |
|
Ikea: meatballs, tasty |
|
Ikea: Allen wrenches |
|
All of them for free |
|
All of them for me |
|
I'm sorry I said Ikea sucks |
|
I just bought a table for 60 bucks |
|
And a chair and a lamp |
|
And a shelf and some candles for you |
|
I was a doubter just like you |
|
Till I saw the American dream come true |
|
In New Jersey, they got a god damned Swedish parade |
|
Ikea: just some oak and some pine and a handful of Norsemen |
|
Ikea: selling furniture for college kids and divorced men |
|
Everyone has a home |
|
But if you don't have a home you can buy one there |
