Denmark ain’t so far away, I could get there in a day
Just pay the price, get on the plane and fly
Denmark ain’t so far away, I took a map out yesterday
How I hate to hear you say goodbye
Tivoli’s a piece of Eden and there’s that brand new bridge to Sweden
The Little Mermaid’s gone and lost her head
Things I try to think instead
Denmark ain’t so far away, but here it’s Independence Day
I hear the fireworks on the Mall were cool
Denmark ain’t so far away, the legend seems to point the way
A thousand miles are just an inch of blue
After work I drive home slow. There’s nowhere that I need to go
I know everything will be all right.
I hope I dream of Denmark through the night
Denmark ain’t so far away, I could get there in a day
Just pay the price, get on the plane and fly
I hope I dream of Denmark, dream of you in Denmark
I hope I dream of Denmark through the night
