As a mixed breed Scandinavian, I celebrate certain Christmas traditions of the old country(ies). One of those is Lutefisk on Christmas Eve. A Christmas carol has been known to be sung to Lutefisk on this special night.
It is sung to the tune of O TANNENBAUM ( O CHRISTMAS TREE for you non-Nordics). Enjoy!
1. O Lutefisk, O Lutefisk, how fragrant your aroma
O Lutefisk, O Lutefisk, you put me in a coma.
You smell so strong, you look like glue,
You taste yust like an overshoe.
But Lutefisk, come Saturday,
I tink I eat you anyvay.
2. O Lutefisk, O Lutefisk, I put you in duh doorvay.
I vanted you to ripen up, yust like dey do in Norvay.
A dog came by and sprinkled you,
I hit him vit my overshoe.
O Lutefisk now I suppose
I'll eat you vhile I hold my nose.
3. O Lutefisk, O Lutefisk, how vell do I remember,
On Christmas Eve how ve'd receive our big treat of December.
It vasn't turkey or fried ham.
It vasn't even pickled Spam.
My Mudder knew dere vas no risk
In serving buttered Lutefisk.
4. O Lutefisk, O Lutefisk, now everyvun discovers
Dat Lutefisk and lefse make Norvegians better lovers.
Now everyvun can have a ball,
You're better dan dat Yeritol.
O Lutefisk vit Brennevin ( brandy)
You make me feel like Errol Flynn.
5. O Lutefisk, O Lutefisk, you have a special flavor.
O Lutefisk, O Lutefisk, all good Norvegians savor.
Dat slimy slab ve know so vell,
Identified by ghastly smell.
O Lutefisk, O Lutefisk,
Our loyalty von't vaver.
A true musical classic of the Season.
two of my favorite Ole and Lena jokes:
Whenever Ole went out with the boys, he always took Lena along. Ice fishing, playing cards, bowling - Lena was always there. One day Sven asked Ole, " Ole, how come you take Lena along vherever you go? "
"Vell Sven, dis vay I never have to kiss her goodbye."
Lena filed for divorce from Ole.
The judge told Ole " I'm going to give Lena $400 a month for support"
Old replied, "Dat's real good, yudge, and vunce in a vhile I'll try to chip in a few bucks myself"
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
