Lyrics
Wilhelmina
She’s the cutest little girl in Copenhagen
Wilhelmina
She has all the fellows crazy in the noggin’ in Copenhagen
And the roses on her cheeks
And the music when she speaks
and how sweet her kisses taste
Sugar caneish like my mama’s Danish pastry
Wilhelmina
Maybe soon we will elope in Copenhagen
Wilhelmina
We’ll share everything including my toboggan in Copenhagen
All the other girls say “No”
But Wilhelmina she says “Nein”
All the boys call Wilhelmina “Willie”
But I call Wilhelmina mine
