Here's my transcription from YouTube:


THE SCANDINAVIAN HOTSHOT (FROM DULUTH)
As sung by Stan Boreson

1. There is a guy in Minnesota that you should know.
He's not a square and he's not a schmo.
There's a twinkle in his eye and I'll tell you why:
When he does the rumba, he's a real gone guy.

CHORUS: He's a Scandinavian hotshot.
He is a hotshot from Duluth.
He is a Scandinavian killer-diller.
For a polka he don't give a hoot.

2. He's got a herringbone suit and a lutefisk vest,
Not one hair upon his chest,
But the girls go wild when he asks to dance.
Got the rumba shirt and the conga pants. CHORUS

3. There's a girl in Minnesota and she's a queen,
The slickest chick(?) you've ever seen.
Then she heard about the hotshot from Duluth.
She says, "That's cute; he sounds real zoot(?)." CHORUS

4. To make the story shorter and to the point,
They met in a Minnesota jukebox joint.
They got along so good in rumba time
That they got hitched and raised a conga line.

LAST CHORUS: And now the Scandinavian hotshots,
They are the hotshots from Duluth.
They are a Svenska family with a Latin rhythm.
For the polka they don't give a hoot.

Well, that's the truth!
