[Verse 1]
In the halls of Stockholm's finest
Where the drinks flow crystal clear
I learned the art of saying nothing
While they whispered in my ear
Just a simple dansband player
But I've seen behind the scenes
Where handshakes hide the daggers
And smiles mask what it means
[Chorus]
Pour another round, my friend
Let's dance this dance again
When the accordion starts to play
We'll seal the deal today
Oh, these Nordic nights are long
But the game is going strong
One more shot of aquavit
And everything's legit
[Verse 2]
Magnus taught me all the secrets
How to nod and when to smile
The perfect pause in conversation
Pure manipulation style
In Dalarna that summer
Twenty-twenty made it clear
How deals are made with schnapps and songs
While folk dance through their fears
[Bridge]
Oh, the fiddles play so sweetly
While we trade in half-truths dear
Such diplomatic dancing
As traditions disappear
But who am I to judge them?
I'm just playing the same game
With every polka that I write
I'm doing just the same
[Chorus]
Pour another round, my friend
Let's dance this dance again
When the accordion starts to play
We'll seal the deal today
Oh, these Nordic nights are long
But the game is going strong
One more shot of aquavit
And everything's legit
[Outro]
So raise your glasses high now
To the deals we make tonight
Where every skål's a contract
And every wrong becomes a right
In this merry dance of power
We're all playing our sweet parts
While the music keeps on rolling
We trade pieces of our hearts
