I've just touched down in Sweden
And adventure, it beckons!
A couple of weeks of lindy hop sounds good
Don't you reckon?

I'm waiting for the bus
So the fun can begin
With my suitcase full of shirts and shoes
And underpants and gin

(Ahem, I mean water. Fresh Hendricks water...)

Driving through the greenery
My heart starts to quicken
The reality of where I am
It soon starts to kick in

I'm at Herräng!
Where the fun never stops!
I'm at Herräng!
It's like every single workshop!
I'm at Herräng!
Where everybody's your friend!
And cause it's longer than a weekend you'll definitely overspend!

At Herräng!
You can learn from the best!
At Herräng!
You can put your dancing to the test!
At Herräng!
You can meet all the finely dressed folk!
With their beautiful dressed and their three piece suits
But we should judge each other on material attributes

At Herräng!
Where even if you wear all of your clothes
At Herräng!
You'll still get bitten by mosquitoes
At Herräng!
Where-they-just-won't-GO-AWAY!
And to think I paid 200 krone for a useless insect spray


I'm at Herräng
Where I haven't had that much sleep
At Herräng
There's a reason general accommodation's so very cheap
At Herräng
Get an eye mask and earplugs
And if you're feeling adventurous then some sleep-inducing drugs

But even in a village full of people
I still find myself feeling lonely
I guess there's something about sleeping in a musky, darkened gym hall with a hundred other people
That doesn't quite feel homely
Sometimes the feeling lingers
But mostly it goes
Cause there's always a smiling face here
To take you out of the shadows

When you're at Herräng
Why not try something new?
When you're at Herräng
Like dancing Be-bop or Blues
When you're at Herräng
Dance 'til you gotta drag yourself to bed
Or go to the ice cream parlour and re-energise on banana bread

When you're at Herräng
The daily meetings are a must
When you're at Herräng
Cause who knows what Lennart will discuss
When you're at Herräng
He'll tell you tales of lindy joy
That'll make you feel like you're dancing back at the Savoy

When you're at Herräng
Try a cultural activity
When you're at Herräng
Like mask making, or cow safari(?)
When you're at Herräng
Your imagination is your limit
And like the water at the beach you gotta throw yourself into it

When you're at Herräng
It's not about what you do with your feet
When you're at Herräng
It's about the people you meet
When you're at Herräng
It's not unusual to cry
When you realise the hardest thing you have to do is say goodbye
