The Vikings

Lyrics by Alvar Pacheco de Cadiz for Ducal Prize 1997

(To the Tune of: The Monkees Theme Song)

Here we come sailing down the coast
Get the frightenedest looks from
The guards upon their post.

Chorus
Hey, Hey we’re the Vikings
People say we push them around
But we’re to busy drinking’
Stumbling’ and falling down.

Go where we want to
Do what we want to do
Anytime we get restless
we’ll end up killing you.

Chorus

We’re just trying to be merchants
But people don’t want us to stay
so we’ll just steal their livestock
And sail off into the bay.

Any tide or any wind
Just look down to your beaches
and we’ll be rowing in.

Chorus

We’re just trying to be merchants
but people don’t want us to stay
So we’ll just steal their women
and sail off into the bay.

Chorus

Hey, hey we’re the Vikings
Hey, hey we’re the Vikings
