| Song Lyrics: |
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, 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
If you've enjoyed hearing this song and would like to know more about Finland, why not ring Mr. Griffiths of Hemel, Hempstead. He and his charming wife, Edna would be glad to answer any of your questions and who knows, may show you some of their unrivaled collection of Scandinavian credit cards.

fiogf49gjkf0d "Belgium, man, Belgium!"
But can I claim the award for its 'gratuitous use'?
..and will the HHGttG references never cease?

fiogf49gjkf0d The "pony trekking" thing really threw me when I first heard this at the end of 1980. At first, I didn't know he was singing 'pony'. The phrase was unfamiliar, so it seemed ridiculous. Adults don't ride ponies. Ponies have precisely one use outside of the fantasies of prepubescent girls and that involves the fantasies of really perverted men. "See a girl and a horse!"...or something.
And "trekking" means only one thing to an American and it involves Spock ears and phasers and not ponies. Probably just as well. Was I going somewhere with this? ..Guess not.
