Ole, oleanna, ole, oleanna
Ole, ole, ole, ole, ole, oleanna
Oh to be in Oleanna,
That's where I'd like to be
Than to be in Norway
And bear the chains of slavery
Little roasted piggies
Rush around the city streets
Inquiring so politely
If a slice of ham you'd like to eat
In Oleanna land is free
The wheat and corn just plant themselves
Then grow a good four feet a day
While on your bed you rest yourself
