Finland

This ode to the most underrated Scandinavian country written and sung by Michael Palin, though a very simple song, with utterly non-humorous lyrics, mangages to be quite funny. How? First of all, anyone singing about Finland is pretty funny, and more importantly, the sound of Michael Palin's singing voice can coax anyone into smiling.  "All together Fin-o-philes!!!"

Finland, Finland, Finland
The country where I want to be
Pony trekking or camping
Or just watching TV
Finland, Finland, Finland
You're the country for me

You're so near to Russia
So far from Japan
Quite a long way from Cairo
Lots of miles from Vietnam

(All sing) Finland, Finland, Finland
The country where I want to be
Eating breakfast or dinner
Snack lunch in the hall
Finland, Finland, Finland
Finland has it all

(Just Michael)
You're so sadly neglected
And often ignored
A far second to Belgium
When going abroad

(All singing) Finland, Finland, Finland
The country where I quite want to be
Your mountains so lofty
Your tree tops so tall
Finland, Finland, Finland
Finland has it all

ALL TOGETHER FINOPHILES!

Finland, Finland, Finland
The country where I quite want to be
Your mountains so lofty
Your tree tops so tall
Finland, Finland, Finland
Finland has it all

Finland has it all............ (Fade out)
