Here is a clip from the 1952 Hollywood musical film "Hans Christian Andersen", directed by Charles Vidor and starring Danny Kaye. The lead vocalists on this song are Ray Linn Jr. and Danny Kaye. This clip also features Joey Walsh as Peter.

This song was written by Frank Loesser, and the version featured here is the original one; it was written for this film. The musical direction is by Walter Scharf and the orchestration is by Jerome Moross. This version was never released as an audio track. Another version, which was performed by Danny Kaye with Gordon Jenkins and his orchestra, was released as a single in 1952 (not 1953, as claimed by Wikipedia), and reached No. 5 in the UK. That version was later included as a track on the 1959 Danny Kaye album "Sings Selections From The Samuel Goldywn Technicolor Picture "Hans Christian Andersen" And Tubby The Tuba".

I have been unable to find an official presentation of the lyrics to this song online, and have not even been able to find any transcript of this version of the song. Presented below and as optional subtitles in the video is my own transcript of the lyrics, for which I used the transcripts of the single version of the song found on lyrics websites as a guide.

Lyrics:

"Wonderful Copenhagen"

     - Hans Christian Andersen (1952) Soundtrack

             (Words and Music by Frank Loesser)

I sailed up the Skagerrak
And sailed down the Kattegat
Through the harbor and up to the quay
And there she stands, waiting for me
With a welcome so warm and so gay

Wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen
Friendly old girl of a town
'Neath her tavern light
On this merry night
Let us clink and drink one down
To wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen
Salty old queen of the sea
Once I sailed away
But I'm home today
Singing Copenhagen, wonderful, wonderful
Copenhagen for me

There she is!

Wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen
Friendly old girl of a town
'Neath her tavern light
On this merry night
Let us clink and drink one down
To wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen
Salty old queen of the sea
Once I sailed away
But I'm home today
Singing Copenhagen, wonderful, wonderful
Copenhagen for me
