The Monster Song
02:13
|
|||
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
01:33
|

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 Sailing Home
02:12
|

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

Support Your Girls
02:25
|
|||
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, 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

Salve, salve, salve Regina
