It's like their cultural values of extreme pride and consumerism don't align with my values of togetherness, simplicity, and love.

America is a living hell for people who are in touch with their humanity. Trust me.

      The melody of the song is also used in turkish folklore, just slightly different. And their lyrics are about frogs, as well.

    There's a second verse to the frog song btw. About little pigs that do have ears and tails.
    Other notable lyrics to Swedish holiday dances:
    "Hey gnome men, pour another and let's be merry! We live for a brief moment, with great toil and trouble."
    "Do you want to know and understand how the farmers usually sow their oats? My father sowed like this, and then he rested his arm."
    "Mrs Söderström and little miss Ros washed themselves in carbonated water."
    "The priest's little crow was going on a journey, but nobody drove the carriage. She went here and there, and ended up in the ditch."
    "The bear is sleeping in his peaceful burrow. He's not dangerous if you're careful, but you can never trust him."
    "This is how we're going around a juniper berry bush early on a Monday morning."
    "The fox hurries across the ice. Are we allowed to sing the song of the baker."
    "We're all milksops. Me too, and you too."
