Termosen [English translation]

I had bought myself a Thermos

In a store down in Målilla

It was really nice

Until I filled it with coffee

Then it broke into a thousand pieces

Then I called up the Chin

That's the name of the store keeper

(That's because he in fact has a really big chin)

And I told him:

My thermos is broken

Is there a warranty on these?

Well, said the Chin, very crudely and slowly

He spoke very slowly... And crudely...

My boy, if it was red

You'll have to do without it

But if it was green, I'll give you a new one

(As a matter of fact, he only exchanges green items)

Then I told the Chin:

I feel a deep sorrow and deprivation

In other words

The thermos was green

Like summer time grass

It was so poetic that he fell into tears

In a hoarse voice he said: I'll give you two new thermoses

I have a few laying around here in the warehouse

That I have received

Insurance payment for

And both of them are green

Yes, so I ended up getting two new thermoses...

Thermoses that are red

Can't be exchanged, but green thermoses

Can be exchanged, exchanged, exchan ah..

If you want to..

That is, if you shop at the Chin's store..

In Målilla

This is a great song, isn't it!
