Mor Aase:
“Peer you´re a troublemaker. And a liar too!
The stories you´re telling me can´t be true
You´ve been riding a goat you tell me, all over the mountain.
You´ve been teased by the green-clad one
into the hall of the mountain king”

Peer:
“Well, I ain´t no liar! Every word is true!
And there´s more to the story, mother! I ain´t foolin you!

Listen:
Well, I´ve been through the desert, mother!
And done bad business in Morocco
I´ve seen the colossi of Memnon and the Sphinx, mother
And a madhouse in Cairo”

I just want you to know, close your eyes and we´ll go
To the castle west of the moon, the castle east of the sun
Sweet mother can you see. Your eyes are wet, now believe me
Old St. Peter is calling you in. Let the party begin

Mor Åse:
Oh Peer, you´re a heartbreaker, but you don`t fool me
I might be dying but still my mind is clear
I`m getting weaker now, but I can tell
Your lying and cheating will send you right down to hell

Peer:
“Well, I ain´t no cheater! Every word is true
There´s even more to the story, mother! Let me tell you!
Now shut up and listen:
I`ve rendezvoued with three love hungry women
I shot an underground creature in the head,
The skinny one told me I did not belong in hell, mother
Yeah, that`s what she said!”

And I just want you to know, close your eyes and we´ll go
To the castle west of the moon, the castle east of the sun
Oh. sweet mother can you see. Your eyes are closed, but believe me
Old St. Peter has just called you in. May the party begin!
