"Oh Lutefisk"


Every year my dad always bursts into song singing the Lyrics to " Oh Lutefisk" In case you want to join in on our family tradition I've decided to post the lyrics.... lol

O Lutefisk, O Lutefisk
Lutefisk, O Lutefisk, how fragrant your aroma,
Lutefisk, O Lutefisk, you put me in a coma.
You smell so strong, you look like glue,You taste just like an overshoe,
But lutefisk, come Saturday,I tink I eat you anyvayLutefisk,
O lutefisk, I put you in the doorvay.I wanted you to ripen up just like they do in Norvay.
A dog came by and sprinkled you.I hit him with my overshoe.
O lutefisk, now I supposeI'll eat you while I hold my nose.
Lutefisk, O lutefisk, how well I do remember.On Christmas Eve how we'd receive our big treat of December.It wasn't turkey or fried ham.It wasn't even pickled Spam.My mother knew there was no riskIn serving buttered lutefisk.
Lutefisk, O lutefisk, now everyone discoversThat lutefisk and lefse make Norvegians better lovers.Now all the world can have a ball.You're better than that Geritol.
O lutefisk, with brennevin [Norwegian brandy]You make me feel like Errol Flynn.
Lutefisk, O lutefisk, you have a special flavor.
Lutefisk, O lutefisk, all good Norvegians savor.That slimy slab we know so wellIdentified by ghastly smell.Lutefisk, O lutefisk,Our loyalty won't waver.
tune: O Tannenbaum
