FINLAND


Written and sung by Michael Palin


From `Monty Python's Contractual Obligation' album





Finland, Finland, Finland


The country where I want to be


Pony trekking or camping


Or just watching TV


Finland, Finland, Finland


It's 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





Finland, Finland, Finland


The country where I want to be


Eating breakfast or dinner


Or snack lunch in the hall


Finland, Finland, Finland


Finland has it all


You're so sadly neglected


And often ignored


A poor second to Belgium


When going abroad





Finland, Finland, Finland


The country where I quite want to be


Your mountains so lofty


Your treetops so tall


Finland, Finland, Finland


Finland has it all





All together now, Finophiles!!





Finland, Finland, Finland


The country where I quite want to be


Your mountains so lofty


Your treetops so tall


Finland, Finland, Finland


Finland has it all


Finland has it all...
