"'Hej, sa Petronella'" is a song with lyrics by Lennart Hellsing and music by Knut Brodin, and published in 1957 in 'Vra visor I'. The song deals with fictional person Petronella from Plaskeby (from the Swedish verb 'plaska', "to splash", and the noun 'by', "village"), and the theme is trying to be happy in all conditions and weather. Creating a boat out of items is a common theme in many fairy tales. The melody is based on a folk tune.Barnens svenska sngbok (1999)
