Karaoké Ikea Jonathan Coulton

Long ago in days of yore it all began with a God named Thor

There were Vikings and boats and some plans for a furniture store

It's not a bodega it's not a mall and they sell things for apartments

Smaller than mine as if there were apartments smaller than mine

Ikea just some oak and some pine and a handful of Norsemen

Ikea selling furniture for college kids and divorced men

Everyone has a home but if you don't have a home you can buy one there

So rent a car or take the bus lay your cash down and put your trust

In the land where the furniture folds to a much smaller size

Billy the bookcase says hello and so does a table whose name is Ingo

And the chair is a ladder-back birch but his friends call him Karl

Ikea just some oak and some pine and a handful of Norsemen

Ikea selling furniture for college kids and divorced men

Everyone has a home but if you don't have a home you can buy one there

Ikea

Plywood brushed steel

Ikea meatballs tasty

Ikea

Allen wrenches

All of them for free all of them for me

I'm sorry I said

Ikea sucks

I just bought a table for sixty bucks

And a chair and a lamp and a shelf and some candles for you

I was a doubter just like you 'till I saw the American dream come true

In New Jersey they got a goddamned

Swedish parade

Ikea just some oak and some pine and a handful of Norsemen

Ikea selling furniture for college kids and divorced men

Everyone has a home but if you don't have a home you can buy one there
