She came from Norway
And she hung around in doorways
She was in Galway
In the kitchen and the hallway
And I'll always remember ......
That October
When I nearly got run over
I was in Dover
Feeling tired and hungover
And your dog's name it was ........ Fido
In Ruislip Lido
You were lying on a lilo
And your friend Milo
Had just gone to cash a Giro
You lent me your biro
And you said ........
"It's only the hair on a gooseberry
that stops it from being a grape
When you're in Romsey mind the gap
Don't vomit on a first date
Or you'll never
get another
(Well, not in Norway)"
She said "someday
You'll be singing Woody Guthrie"
I said "Well maybe.
I think I'd rather live in Norway"
It's a long way
To Tipperary
It's only the hair on a gooseberry
that stops it from being a grape
We all want what we can't have
Don't vomit on a first date
Or you'll never
get another
It's only the hair on a gooseberry
that stops it from being a grape
When you're in Romsey mind the gap
Don't vomit on a first date
Or you'll never
get another
(Well, not in Norway
No Way)
