  • "Finland"
    ~ M. Palin

    Chorus: Finland, Finland, Finland.
    The country where I want to be,
    Pony trekking or camping,
    Or just watching TV.
    Finland, Finland, Finland,
    It's the country for me.
    Verse: You're so near to Russia,
    So far from Japan.
    Quite a long way from Cairo,
    Lots of miles from Vietnam.
    Chorus: Finland, Finland, Finland.
    The country where I want to be,
    Eating breakfast or dinner,
    Or snack lunch in the hall.
    Finland, Finland, Finland,
    Finland has it all.
    Verse: You're so sadly neglected,
    And often ignored,
    A poor second to Belgium,
    When going abroad.
    Chorus: Finland, Finland, Finland.
    The country where I quite want to be,
    Your mountains so lofty,
    Your treetops so tall.
    Finland, Finland, Finland,
    Finland has it all.

    Repeat: Finland, Finland, Finland.
    The country where I quite want to be,
    Your mountains so lofty,
    Your treetops so tall.
    Finland, Finland, Finland,
    Finland has it all.

    Fade: Finland has it all...
