Vikings are Vunderful

Lyrics by Jana the Mad

(To the Tune of: Counting is Wonderful, Sesame Street)

Viscounts are vunderful, dukes are delightful
And princes are perfectly plum.
Kings are exquisite, and earls are elaborate
And I have had more than some

Oh, chirurgeons I’ve quarreled with
(one two three four)
And field heralds I’ve hailed
(one two three)
Fencers I’ve crossed foils with
(One two three four five)
And archers I’ve ailed
(1,2,3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9….ahh)

Viscounts are vunderful, dukes are delightful
The knights are quite nifty and how!
I’m quite liable to charms of a master at arms
You can be just like me, start viscounting now

Viscounts are vunderful, dukes are delightful
And princes are just peachy keen
Kings are exquisite, and earls are elaborate
This is just from what I’ve seen

Oh the laurels I’ve labeled
(1,2,3,4)
And the pelicans proved
(1,2,3,4,5)
The squires I’ve strayed with
(1,2,3)
And merchants I’ve moved
(1,2,3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9….ahh)

Viscounts are vunderful, dukes are delightful
The chiv are terrifically wow
I’m pleasantly in awe, with a baron or shah
Peer or protégé, I could go on all day
You can be just like me, start viscounting now

Yet another song written for the Sesame Street Bardic at Ducal. This is meant to be a Satire to poke fun at ‘belt chasers’. To the tune of Counting is Wonderful. -- Jana the Mad
