The Kattegat (Danish: [ˈkʰad̥əɡ̊ad̥]) or Kattegatt (Swedish: [ˈkatːəˈɡatː]) is a 30,000 km2 sea area bounded by the Jutlandic peninsula in the west, the Danish straits islands of Denmark to the south and the provinces of Västergötland, Scania, Halland and Bohuslän in Sweden in the east. The Baltic Sea drains into the Kattegat through the Danish Straits. The sea area is a continuation of the Skagerrak and may be seen as a bay of the Baltic Sea or the North Sea or, as in traditional Scandinavian usage, neither of these.
The Kattegat is a rather shallow sea and can be very difficult and dangerous to navigate, due to the many sandy and stony reefs and tricky currents that often shift. In modern times, artificial channels have been dug, many reefs have been dredged by either sand pumping or stone fishing, and a well-developed light signaling network has been installed, to safeguard the very heavy international traffic of this small sea.
There are several large cities and major ports in the Kattegat, including Aarhus, Gothenburg, Aalborg, Halmstad and Frederikshavn, mentioned by descending size and importance.
Gotta go now baby, don't go now
Gotta go now baby, don't go (x4)
Yeah, the streets are full
And the crowds they are out on the town
And I'm feeling so high
I'm going out with the world tonight
With the shake of the skin
Lady luck she aint waiting for him
And the beat of the drum
Man I don't think I'll ever be done, no
We're alright, we're ok
We're alright
We all on the street and we're making our way
I'm feeling so high
I'm going out with the world tonight
And we're making our way
Down the streets where the people play
With the shake of the skin
Lady luck she ain't waiting on him
And we all getting locked
In the clubs with funk and the rock
Gotta go now baby don't go
We're alright
Gotta go now baby don't go
We're okay
Gotta go now baby don't go
We're alright
We all on the street and we're making our way
Gotta go now baby, don't go now
Gotta go now baby, don't go (x2)
I'm feeling so high
I'm going out with the world tonight
And we're making our way
Down the streets where the people play
With the shake of the skin
Lady luck she ain't waiting for him
And the beat of the drum
Man I don't think I'll ever be done
Gotta go now baby don't go
We're alright
Gotta go now baby don't go
We're okay
Gotta go now baby don't go
We're alright
We all on the street and we're making our way (x2)
I'm feeling so high
I'm going out with the world tonight
With the shake of the skin
