Billie The Vision & The Dancers - Stuttering Duckling Lyrics

Once upon a time we came from Denmark to Sweden to settle down
It felt bad in the beginning and it just got worse
They were making fun of me and my Danish pronunciation
so I started stuttering
I tripped over my tongue
and I dreamed about Denmark


yeah I dreamed about Denmark
the beautiful streets of Copenhagen and
the home of H.C. Andersen

A loving and warm hearted theory, but with a terrifying practice
I caught the devil in disguise I could feel the indifference rise
I cursed my Swedish class mates I put a spell on my Swedish teacher
She blindfolded her eyes and ears too when they were mocking me
I dreamed about Denmark

...

We got a new strict teacher after the summer of '84
and all the bullies sat properly and quiet
when the teacher came through the door
suddenly I heard myself making this loud and annoying noise
and the teacher said "Are you retarded boy?"
I said "No, but maybe you are"
and I started dreaming about...

...

But I became the untouchable hero
and the mocking was history
I got a girlfriend named Jennie
and now the crowd were following me
I almost stopped stuttering
and the Danish dreams were gone
Everything went from black and white to colour
but I kept dreaming on... about Sweden


No I dreamed about Sweden
the beautiful streets of Stockholm
and the home of Astrid Lindgren
