I don't know why this turned into a counting song ...

The House of the Midnight Sun

There is a house in Norroway
In the land of the midnight sun
It's been the ruin two old men
And Lord, I know I'm one

My brother Arne and I walked out
Just to enjoy the view
And as we walked down Flam main street
We met these ladies, two

The pleasure of such company
Gave us much joy and glee
For I've seen eighty summers, and
Young Arne is seventy three

We took them to our batchelor pad
For aquavit and more
They said 'We'll show you a good time
Just between us four.'

And then those ladies took the floor
And they began to jive
I've never had so good a time
since nineteen forty-five!

Their clothes lay scattered on the floor –
They'd shown us many tricks
'The Stripper' on the gramaphone
And other such musics

Yes, such allure those ladies had
We felt we were in heaven
And then they danced one final dance-
The dance of the veils seven

And then those two excused themselves
And said we'd need to wait
We waited for an hour or more
And sat, and drank, and ate

And then at last the penny dropped –
The money that was mine
They'd stolen every crown we had –
We dialed 999

I still look back on that fine day
Every now and then
Although they duped us, both the pair
Were worth a perfect ten!
