Norwegian wood (this bird has flown)
(Lennon/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 had flown
so I lit a fire, isn't it good?
Norwegian wood
