Norwegian Wood

Original Lyrics

I once had a girl, or should I say, she once had me

She showed me her room, isn’t it good, Norwegian wood

She asked me to stay and she told me to sit anywhere

So I looked around and I noticed there wasn’t a chair

I sat on a rug, biding my time, drinking her wine

We talked until two and then she said, “it’s time for bed”

She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh

I told her I didn’t and crawled off to sleep in the bath

And when I awoke I was alone, this bird had flown

So I lit a fire, isn’t it good, Norwegian wood

I once had a girl, or should I say, she once had me

She showed me her room, isn't it good, Norwegian wood

She asked me to stay and she told me to sit anywhere

So I looked around and I noticed there wasn't a chair

I sat on a rug, biding my time, drinking her wine

We talked until two and then she said, "it's time for bed"

She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh

I told her I didn't and crawled off to sleep in the bath

And when I awoke I was alone, this bird had flown

So I lit a fire, isn't it good, Norwegian wood
