That’s a Norway by Jeff “Dr Chordate” Moran

In Lillehammer when you ski down a slope,
And for lutefisk for supper you hope:

Where there’s Trondheim and Oslo and Bergen and Tromso,
That’s a Norway.
When you see northern lights on cold winter nights,
That’s a Norway.

There’s Lofoten and Lapland and fjords and Kristiansand,
That’s a Norway.
The Edvards, Muench and Grief, Beowulf and Vikings,
That’s a Norway.

Henrik Ibsen (Peer Gynt, A Doll’s House, Hedda Gabbler).
Norse gods (Odin, Thor, Loki, Tyr).

When trolls live ‘neath a bridge with Olav and Astrid,
That’s a Norway.
And the gods of Asgard with the Valkyries die hard,
That’s a Norway.

When Harald and Oskar and Sonja and Ingemar
Hunt reindeer in Svalbard with Bjorn, Sven, and Hildegard,
That’s a Norway.
