Axel and Trigby

Lyrics by Connor MacAuliffe FitzJames

(To the Tune of: Eleanor Rigby)

Axel and Trigby, swilling some mead
From a jar that they keep by their oar
Trading’s a bore

Look at them rowing .
Searching the coast for a church that has no soldiers near.
That’s why they’re here.

Chorus
          All those Dane’s a Viking
          Where do they all come from?
          All those Dane’s a Viking
          Where do they all come from?

Axel and Trigby plundered the church
And then left, then they set it a-flame
Odin’s to blame

Look at them laughing
Wiping some blood from their spears as they stroll through the gate.
Convents are great.

Chorus
          All those Dane’s a Viking
          Where do they all come from?
          All those Dane’s a Viking
          Where do they all come from?
