W: W: W:This is the fifth verse of a well-known Scandinavian drinking W:song/drinking game. The idea is that you sing one verse, then drain W:a small glass of some very strong liquor, sing the next verse, W:drain another glass and so on. Everything is of course done in a decent W:and sophisticated way ;-) W: W:The verses of the song are: W: Helan W: Halvan W: Tersen W: Kvarten W: Kvinten W:The names are the traditional Scandinavian names for the first, W:second, third and so on drink. W:This variant of the song cycle is Norwegian, with the verses W:alternating between Norwegian and Swedish (or at least something W:resembling Swedish). W: W:I suppose there should be a sixth verse too, but I have not managed W:to find it. Henrik Norbeck did however come up with Septen (the seventh) W:from a Swedish variant.
