Reykjavik lyrics
 Saturday, May 20, 2006
Listen

Reykjavik, Reykjavik,
Came for a day and stayed a week
Hey Hey Hey

May and June, the sun shines bright,
Through the day and half the night
Hey Hey Hey

West of Norway on the map
Just below the polar icecap
Hey Hey Hey

The dictionary weighs ten pounds
It has words I can't pronounce
Ride ride ride

Icelanders leave this place
See the world and—come back someday
Ride ride ride

All day long they go to school
Then sit together in a pool

The water's hot, the steam ascends
And that's how Iceland makes new friends

No one's angry, no one's frantic
Soon you too will be Icelandic
In the bath

GK's New Holiday Story
A comic novella about a Hawaii-bound holiday traveler who ends up stranded in his North Dakota hometown.
