— Lyrics —

It’s a quiet little Monday
In a London kind of way
Bar’s half full, lights are blinking
Someone orders Chardonnay

Then the door goes bang!
And the temperature drops
Someone whispers, “Blimey… not again…”
The Finns have come to rock the joint
And the show is about to begin

They don’t say much
But they mean it
They don’t smile
Till the chorus hits

The Finns are back on Monday night
At Madame Lala’s once again
They cross the sea, they steal the show
With rhythm, nerve and Nordic zen

They sing, they swing, they break the rules
They freeze the room, then set it right
Hide your heart and hold your drink
The Finns are back on Monday night

There’s a tango in their footsteps
And a blues inside their grin
They look polite, they sound dangerous
When the music kicks right in

One brings soul, one brings fire
One just stares into the void
But somehow when they hit the stage
The whole damn bar gets overjoyed

The Finns are back on Monday night
At Madame Lala’s once again
They warm the room with cool precision
Like sauna steam and swinging sin

They play it dry, they play it hot
They land the joke a beat too late
And London laughs and begs for more
While Helsinki seals its fate

“Why are they always here?”
“Because Mondays need courage.”
“And because someone has to save this city from itself.”

When do they come? — Monday!
Where do they land? — Lala’s!
Do they behave? — Never!
Do we love it? — Absolutely!

The Finns are back on Monday night
And somehow London feels alright
With sharp suits, soft hearts, iron timing
And jokes that sneak up from the side

So raise your glass, don’t ask them why
Just let the rhythm take the bite
Same place, same time, same beautiful crime
The Finns are back on Monday night

Next Monday?
…You know the answer.
