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
I sailed up the Skagerrak And sailed 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
