Nygammal vals was the Swedish entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 1966 in Luxembourg performed by Lill Lindfors and Svante Thuresson.

In the final, it was performed tenth, following Austria and preceding Spain. At the close of voting, it finished second with 16 points, making it Sweden's best showing in the Contest until ABBA won with "Waterloo" eight years later.

Lill would go on to host the 1985 contest in Gothenburg as a result of her success.

För länge sedan i världen fanns
En svinaherde, en stenhipp man
Och en prinsessa, stolt jungfru hon var
En dag möttes de och han steg fram och sa:

Kors i karamellen, vilken schysst mam’sell du verkar vara
Titta vilken klänning, jätteklämmig
Är det maskerad, va?
Stick iväg från stigen, du var mig en osedvanlig lurk

Jag är prinsessa, ganska så sipp
Jag heter kunnigunda, konungens gull
Du, simma långsamt, var lite hipp
Hör när jag trummelummar på min kastrull

Digga digga pop…

Tjong i medaljongen, en så’n festlig sång du trumma’ nyss, va?
Lär du bara mig att trummelumma får du mun min kyssa
Mun har varje jänta, kan man inte tänka sig en slant?

Dricker ur bäcken, lever av mull
Har man en slant på fickan kan man stå lull
Du var en fräck en, får inget gull
Men jag vill trummelumma på din kastrull

Digga digga pop…

Klang i kantarellen, det var väldans, bruden har visst bråttom
Vad i hela friden ser du i den? Grytor finns det gott om
Grytan där den låter skönt, den ljuder grönt, en lajbans klang

Vi gör ett avtal, ta’t eller stick
Jag blir hipp svinaherde, du kungens gull
Jag som prinsessa? Visst man är hipp
Ta då min trummelumma, ta min kastrull

Han som prinsessa, hipp man i clips
Hivades ut från hovet av en patrull
Hon svinaherde, sipp brud i slips
Gjorde var männ’ska galen, spelte kastrull

Döden i grytan byta bort sin kastrull

Once upon a time there was
A pig breeder, a really cool man
And a princess, a proud maiden she was
One day they met and he stepped up to her and said:

Gosh almighty, you seem to be a cool lady
Look at that dress, really happening
Is there a fancy dress party or something?
Get lost, you’re such a peasant

I’m a princess, rather prudish
My name is Cunigunda, the king’s sweetheart
Hey, take it easy, chill out
Listen to me drumming on my saucepan

Dig dig pop…

Oops, such a groovy tune you drummed just there
If you teach me how to drum you can kiss me
Every girl has a mouth, what about a coin instead?

I drink from the brook, I eat soil
If you have a coin in your pocket you’re better off
You’re such a cheeky devil, you won’t get any gold
But I want to drum on your saucepan

Dig dig pop…

Bang, gosh, the girl’s in a hurry
What’s so special about it? There are lots of saucepans
That saucepan sounds groovy, a cool sound, a nice ring to it

Let’s make a deal, take it or leave it
I’ll be a hip pig breeder, and you can be the king’s sweetheart
Me as a princess? Sure, I’m hip
Then take my drum, take my saucepan

He, as a princess, a hip man wearing clip-on ties
Was thrown out of the castle by the guards
She, as a pig breeder, a prudish chick wearing a tie
Drove everybody mad, playing her saucepan

Trading your saucepan turned out to be a really bad idea
