"Dashing through the town, our firebrands burning bright,
striking foemen down, setting things alight.
Swords and axes ring, making spirits bright,
what fun it is to laugh and sing, a slaying song tonight! "
Chorus:
"We're viking men, viking men, plundering your shore,
another dragon ship sails in discharging twenty more.
We're viking men, viking men, our axes red with gore,
shouting out our battle cries and singing praise to Thor! "
"See your harbour fair, filled with our dragon ships,
see men with flame-red hair and foam on bearded lips.
We come at break of day, to depredate your lands,
and then, when we have gone away, no unburnt building stands."
Chorus: second line is "another dragon ship sails in discharging forty more"
"We're carrying away whatever we admire,
your forces to delay, we've set the rest on fire.
With you we've had our will, and varied was your cost,
we sacked the convent on the hill and more than gold was lost!"
Chorus: second line, of course, is "another dragon ship sails in discharging eighty more"
"There is one simple way to keep us from your shore.
If you'll but Danegeld pay, we'll be your friends once more.
This act you will not rue, you'll have no cause to fear,
until the next instalment's due, when we come back next year!"
Chorus: and the second line is now "a fleet of dragon ships sail in discharging thousands more"
