A sing-along version of John Finnemore's Capitals of Europe song. Lyrics by John Finnemore, music by Susannah Pearse. Performed by John Finnemore, Susannah Pearse and Sally Stairs.
In Slovakia the capital of course is Bratislava.
Dublin is in Ireland or Eire if you'd rather.
Lisbon is in Portugal, Madrid's next door in Spain.
Brussels is in Belgium, Kiev's in the Ukraine.
Sofia's in Bulgaria, and while you're in the area,
There's Chisinau Moldova, and Athens down in Greece.
Then there's Bucharest Romania, Tirana in Albania
And Sarajevo Bosnia (and Herzegovina) now happily at peace.
The Netherlands has Amsterdam, Malta has Valletta.
Oslo's up in Norway, I suggest you take a sweater.
Pristina is in Kosovo although I am afraid,
It's not recognised in Serbia, so don't sing this in Belgrade.
San Marino is its own one cos it's just a little fella.
Andorra is the same except they stick on a "La Vella".
Luxembourg and Monaco are similarly dinky.
Hungary has Budapest, Finland has Helsinki.
There's Skopje Macedonia, there's Tallinn in Estonia.
Montenegro's Podgorica, I've said that right I hope.
Rome of course in Italy and nestled in it prettily,
The Vatican, a city state, in which you'll find the Pope.
Lithuania has Vilnius, and now I'm sure you're eager
For the capital of Latvia, so here you go it's Riga.
Copenhagen is in Denmark, Minsk's in Belarus.
It was once called Belorussia but that's fallen out of use.
Now the capital of Switzerland's a tricky one to learn.
Is it Zurich or Geneva? Well, no, actually it's Bern.
Warsaw is in Poland, why not to visit it today?
Prague's the Czech Republic (aka Czechia), London's the UK.
Reykjavik's in Iceland. Another very nice land
Is Sweden, visit Stockholm if you ever get the chance.
Vaduz you'll find in Liechtenstein. Vienna, home of Wittgenstein,
Is Austria and Paris is the capital of France.
Berlin is in Germany, Zagreb is in Croatia.
We're going to ignore the ones that partly lie in Asia.
So no Russia and no Kazakhstan, no Turkey, no Armenia.
Just Nicosia in Cyprus and Ljubljana in Slovenia.
