Based on Finland 1983
Ami Aspelund — Fantasiaa
Words to this song; they don't come easy, no, 'cause Finnish is long
Words to this song; had seemed a breezy, but it's been dragging on
Words to this song; preoccupy me every night, every day
Words to this song; this melody is so gay
It was a fantasy, yeah; oh, an ambition so might
To compose this song in Finnish; tryna put up a fight
But it's taking so long; I am in such a delay
And I will surely miss the deadline; need to find the right rhyme
It was a fantasy, yeah; oh, an idea so bright
But it's taking me forever and I need a respite
If I could just hang on maybe my brain will obey
Then I shall finally get to finish and go lay in some hay
(I can do this; piece of toast, yes
I can do this; be the most, and
Go my way and rest on blocks of hay)
Words to this song; a mad experiment; been racking my brains
This just won't do; I know you know this because I know it, too
Words to this song; forgive me saying this, but Finnish is cray
Not nice to say; The Muses won't meet me halfway
It was a fantasy, yeah; oh, an ambition so might
It was a fantasy, yeah; oh, an ambition so might
And I'm glad to say I've made it; yes, I've finished tonight
Even though not quite right, it sure as heck is okay
And before you all I stand here to present it today
It was a fantasy, yeah; oh, an idea so bright
But my words just seemed to fail me; not inspired, not slight
But I've made it this long and now my fears are at bay
Yes, I finally got to finish this and
Finally got to finish this and lay in some hay.
