Chorus: I once went after a monster that threatened my hometown I once went after a monster and vowed to strike him down I once went after the Giant A mighty, fearsome foe I once went after the Giant My courage for to show The Giant I found in his house in the sky eating men every day for lunch But the Giant can’t catch a girl sneaky like me so he fell with an excellent crunch (Chorus) I once went after the Hydra A mighty, fearsome foe I once went after the Hydra My courage for to show The Hydra, you see, has a great many heads And venom in every one But the Hydra’s can't beat a lass clever as me And he lost to decapitation! (Chorus) I once went after the Kraken A mighty, fearsome foe I once went after the Kraken My courage for to show The Kraken lives in the deep blue sea and pulls pirates to their doom But a Kraken’s no match for a lady like me, so I sank him in the gloom (Chorus) I once went after the Dragon A mighty, fearsome foe I once went after the Dragon My courage for to show A Dragon’s lair is dang’rous and dark So we snuck in a secret way But a Dragon is fiery, and frightening, and huge… RUN AWAY!!!! We once went after a dragon That threatened our hometown We once went after a dragon… But could not bring him down!

Here's a health to heroes never praised With a fa la la la la la la to whom a glass is rarely raised With a fa la la la la la la They work the village night and day so that we may all come out and play now here’s the thanks we ought to say With a fa la la la la la la la la laaaaaaa With a fa la la la la la la Here’s to those who pick up trash With a fa la la la la la la and clear our village in a flash With a fa la la la la la la may your bags never tear or be too thin and all who toss make it to the bin may your nose hold firm ‘gainst the stench within! With a fa la la la la la la la la laaaaaaa (downs a drink) With a fa la la la la la la Here’s to them that clean the loo With a fa la la la la la la and bravely face all that we do With a fa la la la la la la Let noone’s gas fill the latrine and the privies all stay mostly clean May the bowl never hold anything obscene With a fa la la la la la la la la laaaaaaa (downs a drink) With a fa la la la la la la Health to the folks who sell us beer With a fa la la la la la la and keep us all in drink and cheer With a fa la la la la la la May your taps be clean and not too slow may the drunks in line never cause you woe and may your tip jars overflow With a fa la la la la la la la la laaaaaaa (downs a drink) With a fa la la la la la la All So now we've raised our tankards high With a fa la la la la la la We've raised them full and lowered them dry With a fa la la la la la la to those who work and never quit Your jobs are the worst, we all admit, So thanks for taking all our…...SHHHHH! With a fa la la la la la la la la laaaaaaa With a fa la la la la la la

Darling won't you wait, won't you wait, won't you wait, for I must go far away Darling won't you wait, won't you wait, won't you wait, 'til I come back home to stay Should another love come along, come along, simply tell her that you're not free Send her on her way, on her way, on her way, darling won't you wait for me Oh my love, some of us I know are bound to die Oh my love, how it breaks my heart to say goodbye Oh my love, when you're far away I miss you so Hold me close, kiss me once again before I go Darling won't you wait, won't you wait, won't you wait, for I must go far away Darling won't you wait, won't you wait, won't you wait, 'til I come back home to stay

Red haired my sailor boy He was my first love and joy Lips of salt and breath like sea My heart was his home Red banner drawn to mast All the sailing lines are cast winds hold firm in a distant port He writes me at home. Red waves wash all my dreams Hopes are drifting lost in screams wake with aching in my bones Please come safely home Red rose the sun at dawn All the sailor boys are gone They've all died adrift at sea A long way from home

Ev’ry captain needs a first mate to haul on her lines A ship built on friendship will sail on just fine All hands on deck heave to tighten the stays Between captain and first mate, full sails they will raise CHORUS: Give support to your girls with all of your might Support them with teamwork to win any fight Support your ladies and hoist them up high Give a hand to each lady is our battle cry The commands of her gen'ral a lieutenant follows And these bosom buddies overwhelm all their foes On the frontline of battle twin cannons they load Til in vic’try they’re lifted all honors bestowed CHORUS Beside every doctor’s a hardworking nurse a colleague to cleave to as cures they disperse When the patient is sagging then four hands are best to perk them back up, pump life into their chest CHORUS If we struggle alone we're no damsel distressed the heart of a heroine beats beneath every breast give a hand in friendship together we'll soar With the proper support we’ll all be more and more CHORUS x2

Drink, ladies, drink Drink your gentlemen down Drink your fellows under the table Drink your laddies down Good Maggie Bliss is a brewster by trade, tavern keep of Fairhaven town With an iron right arm and a brew just as strong, her ale’s are all a full bodied brown some miscreant rogues left with their tab unpaid so she shattered their jaws with blows none could evade She filled up a glass while they filled the stockade, she drank her robbers down Chorus Grace o' Malley was known for daring at sea, the most fearsome pirate queen on her father's knee she learned to drink deep draughts of Irish poteen she gave birth whilst upon her flag ship then routed some Turks with the new babe on her hip in victory toasting no man could outstrip, so she drank her crewmen down Chorus Red Mary of Kent was a bold Lady Knight, clad in steel with a fiery steed. Her skill with a sword and relish for drink no companion could exceed when bested by Mary one man was quite sore she downed a tankard of mead and had at him once more he ended under the table and under her sword, she drank her challenger down Chorus Queen Elizabeth, a true English maid, drank beer for her breakfast each day A stalwart of faith and her virginal state in excellence none could allay Her golden age reign lasted forty-four years Despite papists, armadas, and marital fears Her only true consort a glassful of beer, she drank all England down Chorus 2x
