And it was beef á la Lindstrøm
And cow á la Lumpur,
Heart massage and year-old grouse.
And freshly dug salmon at your own risk,
And there was red spirit for meat,
Also there was white spirit for fish.

So I took the job as a chef at the Grand Hotel,
And was thrown against the wall one Saturday night.
Because the food was so good,
That there were fewer people in the restaurant than in the bathroom.

Because there was beef á la Lindstrøm
And cow á la Lumpur,
Heart massage and year-old grouse.
And freshly dug salmon at your own risk,
And there was red spirit for meat,
Also there was white spirit for fish.
(spell correctly now, daggen!
Brrombadeidei)

Now I run Hoksund Taverna & Grill.
There I cook food and do as I please
And the menu is French, but the food is Norwegian.
And if you have dynamite yourself, you can blow up a cod

Or beef á la Lindstrøm
And cow á la Lumpur,
Heart massage and year-old grouse.
And freshly dug salmon at your own risk,
And red spirit for meat,
Then you get white spirit for fish.
(you get it here with us)

And if I come to heaven
And St. Peter wants to throw me back down,
Then I say: wait a moment before you say finally stop,
Because you know everything that goes down, it comes up sooner or later.

And then there will be beef á la Lindstrøm
And cow á la Lumpur,
Heart bandage and year-old muzzle.
And freshly dug salmon at your own risk,
And there will be red spirit for meat,
Then there will be white spirit for fish.
