Song Of The Viking - Lyrics by Rundgren Todd


Lyrics
I am a Viking of some note  Knut's my name and here I float  Out on the sea in a great big boat  and I'm the one who beats the drum in time  To stroke the oars that drive our galleons on  And while we rowed we had our song  And we had our god, and it may seem odd  But at least there was a cause  Caught a wind and we upped the sail  Lost two ships when it turned to a gale  Down went a third when she rammed on a whale  Though we despaired we could not fail  And through it all we never faltered  Late at night I lay on the decke  Wondering whye I risk my necke  Picture myselfe in a sinkinge wrecke  Ande downe I'me goinge notte knowinge whye  I just can't quite recall the reason why  It's such a drag to carry on  But there was a cause, but there was a reason  If you like I'll be your Viking  Sit you down to a Nordic meal  Give you strength that you might wield  A Viking sword and a Viking shield  And off we'll sail in mighty ships of yore  Perhaps we shouldn't let our hands get sore  We need someone to pull the oars  And to do the chores  So we need a cause, so we need a reason why  (
Erik is here!)
