All the Royal robbers stood in line
As the Swedish king his crown declined
Everybody wants to rock the boat
But when it rains, oh you give away your coat

If you dance across the ocean
You will see a mad, mad world
Oh boy, it is a mad, mad world.

Did you read the news today poor boy?
They've come to take away your favorite toy!
Summers landed late one day in June
But winter paved it's way that afternoon

If you dance across the ocean
You will see a mad, mad world
Oh boy, it is a mad, mad world.

Wake up your kids it's way, way past bedtime
The thief lef what he stole far, far behind
His toy gun was lost never to be found
If you come across the ocean someday you might find
That we're busy selling Sweden to Norwegians.
