LYRICS

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
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
If you don't have a home you can buy one there
