Once upon a time there was a country
a lovely little country
which you can hardly find on a globe
the ferries they sailed both day and night
over the Great Belt, Øresund and Kattegat
the kids rollerskated on Strøget
poor little Ninn got something in her eye
but that was over the day the bridge came
baby c'est la vie, all roads lead to Rome
They called it Dana's Garden
but it's been so long now
that only the old people in Slagelse
they still remember it
Everyone went and talked in potato language
no one but them could understand
there were words like roedgrød, cunt and Gajol
liver transplant, Dankort and wheelchair
the Prime Minister's wife could go through the cracks
the queen she handed out herring salad
the churches were empty but at Sommersko
they all sat together and waited for Godot
They called it Dana's Garden
but it's been a long time now
Long since there was a Wheel of Fortune
long since the angels fell into hiding
long since they bleated like sheep
inside good old Christiansborg
long since they succeeded
in being free and straightforward< br/>long ago that they stood by each other
long ago yes, and then no more about it!
They called it Dana's Garden
but it has been so long now
that only the old people in Slagelse
can still remember it
