Här är dörren, tryck på knappen!
Här bor Fritiof Andersson.
Tänk från denna lyan ser han
hela Stockholm ovanifrån!
Kära Fritiof, säg hur mår du
och hur trivs du här i stan?
Mår och trivs? jo det förstår du
att jag trivs som själva fan
med två tomma pilsnerflaskor
och en frusen vattenkran.
Is på hela Riddarfjärden!
Is från början och till slut!
Varken färjor eller båtar!
Inga fartyg kan gå ut!
Bara is och gråa kajer
och vid slussen i en vak
simma några frusna änder,
frusen är jag själv, och slak.
Himlen mulnar, luften kulnar,
snön yr vit kring torn och tak.
Ack, min lilla svenska fröken,
Britta hon vid Roslagstull!
Söderns sol och varma vindar
for jag från för hennes skull.
Sicken jänta! Kunde vänta,
tror ni, å i helsicke!
När jag knackade på dörren
kom en karl och öppnade.
Ni ursäktar kanske, sa han,
men vi är förlovade!
Sista brasan i kaminen
skall jag elda med de brev
som hon sände mig till Rio
och de vykort som hon skrev.
Sedan skall jag ta en hyra
till det fjärran Ecuadór,
Där planterar jag bananer
och blir stor Exportadór!
Med en skön och fet kreolska
gifter jag mig, ni förstår!
Där, med kavaljersfasoner
skall jag leva och bli fin!
Stekta sparvar och kalkoner
äter jag och dricker vin.
Stora skutor från Europa
lasta frukt på min plantage.
Med ministrar och konsuler
spelar jag karambolage!
Jag blir konsul, jag blir konsul!
med galoner och plymage!
Evert Taube (Stockholm, 1890 – Stockholm, 1976) was a Swedish singer-songwriter and poet of international fame. Considered one of the greatest Scandinavian songwriters of the 20th century, Taube composed hundreds of songs, many of which became standards in the Swedish musical repertoire. His works are characterized by melancholic melodies and poetic lyrics that often deal with themes such as love, nostalgia, country life, and folk tradition. Taube collaborated with numerous Scandinavian musicians, including violinist Lars-Erik Larsson and composer Hugo Alfvén. Among his most famous songs are "Vals ombord", "I vara hjartan" and "Fritiof and Carmencita". His music has influenced generations of Swedish artists and continues to be appreciated worldwide.
