NORWEGIAN WOOD (THIS BIRD HAS FLOWN)
By John Lennon and Paul McCartney
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 HAS FLOWN.
SO I LIT A FIRE,
ISN'T IT GOOD, NORWEGIAN WOOD.
