    Wonderful Copenhagen

    from Hans Christian Andersen

    I sail up the Skaggerak, and sail down the Kattegat,


    Through the harbour and up to the quay,
    And there she stands, waiting for me,
    With a welcome so warm and so gay.
    Wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen,
    Friendly old girl of a town,
    'Neath her tavern light, on this merry night
    Let us clink and drink one down.
    To wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen,
    Salty old queen of the sea.
    Once I sailed away, but I'm home today,
    Singing Copenhagen,
    Wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen for me.
