Irons in the firs, pinin for the fjords.

Should be "... pinin' for the fee-ords", meaning "pining for the fjords", a key line from Monty Python's Norwegion Blue Parrot skit. A customer has come in to return a dead parrot, which had only been nailed to the perch to make it seem alive, and the pet store owner say the bird is just "pinin' for the fee-ords".
