Danny Kaye did a great little song called wonderful wonderful Copenhagen. Come on readers – give us a song on this most wonderful of capitalist gabfests; this kitchens’ thieves of polluters. Here’s a link to the song, and the words are below (but may not be in the right order). Get those writing caps on! My piece of doggerel is at the bottom.

Wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen

Friendly old girl of a town

‘Neath her tavern light

On this merry night

Let us clink and drink one down

To wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen

Salty old queen of the sea

Once I sailed away

But I’m home today

Singing Copenhagen, wonderful, wonderful

Copenhagen for me

I sailed up the Skagerrak

And sailed down the Kattegat

Through the harbor and up to the quay

And there she stands waiting for me

With a welcome so warm and so gay

Wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen

Wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen

Friendly old girl of a town

‘Neath her tavern light

On this merry night

Let us clink and drink one down

To wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen

Salty old queen of the sea

Once I sailed away

But I’m home today

Singing Copenhagen, wonderful, wonderful

Copenhagen for me

JP version (often not to tune, like my signing)

Wonderful wonderful Copenhagen

All of those lies and all of that farken

bullshit, yes just bullshit

there for their talking, and all of their lies

it’s all lies

Oh Copenhagen, what have you done?

Oh Copenhagen, what have you done?

Melted their brains in the sun?

Let them make targets on the run

See how they laugh and have such fun

As we warm away, yes just warm away

Nowhere to go, nowhere to stay

Oh Copenhagen, what have you done?

Oh Copenhagen, what have you done?

Mountains to climb and rivers to ride

Bare as my bum and maybe as wide

Where is the ice? See the humanicide!

Oh the humanicide…

Wonderful wonderful Copenhagen,

what have you done, what have done?

Don’t elt them get away, don’t let them get away

With their lies today, oh their lies today

More profit for them less living for us

Let’s make a fuss, oh let’s make a fuss

For the world and the rest of us

Wonderful wonderful Copenhagen

Put em all into the Paddy waggon

For their crimes, yes their crimes

We must act to save our times, yes our times

And the world,

This wonderful wonderful world,

We must act to to save, act to save, this beautiful wonderful world today.
