by Neil Gaiman
we’ll steal your cattle,
and take your girls,
then we’ll do it all over again…
The fattest of the Virgins,
I knew her for a whore!
I gave her all my codpiece,
And still she wanted more!
Singing we are Beowulf’s army,
we are mighty thanes,
we’ll steal your cattle,
and take your girls,
then we’ll do it all over again…
A virgin was from Norway,
She cost me twenty groats!
She showed me there was more ways,
Than one to sow my oats!
Singing we are Beowulf’s army,
we are mighty thanes,
we’ll steal your cattle,
and take your girls,
then we’ll do it all over again…
There was a girl from Iceland,
And she was mighty hot!
She’d take a whole damn iceberg,
To cool her burning twat!
Singing we are Beowulf’s army,
we are mighty thanes,
we’ll steal your cattle,
and take your girls,
then we’ll do it all over again..
NAIL ’EM TO THE WALL
(from a lost draft)
Hrothgar is a hero
Hrothgar is a king
He’s not afraid of dragons
Or any other thing
When giants came to Hrothgar
So big and strong and tall
He’d cut their bloody bollocks off
And nail them to the wall.
Oooooh
Nail ’em to the wall,
Nail ’em to the wall,
He’d cut their bloody bollocks off and nail them to the wall.
Hrothgar was a young man
Hrothgar went to fight
He killed a dozen monsters
In one tremendous night
When dragons came at Hrothgar
He’d battle, bust and brawl
then he’d rip their scaly tails off
And nail them to the wall…
Ooohhh…
Nail it to the wall,
Nail it to the wall,
He ripped its evil head right off and nailed it to the wall…
