Lyrics:
Solen trak gardinet for\\nSe nu blev i dag i går\\nSkynd dig ind i sove-rige\\nSå din drøm bli'r rigtig lang\\n\nSkynd dig ind i lege-land\\nLi' så hurtigt som du kan\\nMød den lille sjove pige\\nDu fortalte om engang\\n\nSå tænker mor imens på alt det grå og triste\\nSom voksne menn'sker kymrer sig om\\nOg streger alle sorger på den lange liste\\nSå den i morgen tidlig er tom\\n\nSkynd dig ind i lege-land\\nLi' så hurtigt som du kan\\nSkynd dig ind i sove-rige\\nSå din drøm bli'r rigtig lang\\n\nSå, nu skal du ligge rigtig stille\\nStille som en lille mus\\nHør, så kan du høre en stjerne spille over vores hus\\n\nSå tænker mor imens på alt det grå og triste\\nSom voksne menn'sker kymrer sig om\\nOg streger alle sorger på den lange liste\\nSå den i morgen tidlig er tom\\n\nSkynd dig ind i lege-land\\nLi' så hurtigt som du kan\\nSkynd dig ind i sove-rige\\nSå din drøm bli'r rigtig lang
Denmark was represented by Ellen Winther, with the song '"Vuggevise", at the 1962 Eurovision Song Contest, which took place on 18 March in Luxembourg City. "Vuggevise" was chosen as the Danish entry at the Dansk Melodi Grand Prix on 11 February. Six songs had been lined up to participate in the 1962 DMGP, but "Jeg snakker med mig selv", a swing-style song to be performed by Gitte Hænning, was disqualified before the event in an exceptionally strict interpretation of pre-performance rules, when the song's composer was heard whistling the melody in the canteen of broadcaster DR. It is widely believed in Danish Eurovision circles that "Jeg snakker med mig selv" would have won that year's DMGP, and would also have done much better at Eurovision than the song which was ultimately sent.
Overall Final Postion: 10
