Oslo in the Summertime

of Montreal

Oslo in the summertime nobody can fall asleep 
I'm staring out the window from my bed 
At 4 a.m. the sun is up 
look the sky is peppered with sea birds and with crows all cackling 
HVA? 

Up in tre ten Heimdalsgate 
me and Nina making fun of footballers in Rudolph Neilson Plass 
I practice my Norwegian on poor befuddled waitresses 
who shake their heads completely at a loss 
Oslo in the summertime the streets are strangely quite 'cause 
everyone's away on holiday 
HVA? 

Oslo in the summertime Pakistani children play locked inside of the courtyard all day 
Pretty people everywhere sun lamp tans and flaxen hair 
Just tell the American not to stare 
HVA?
