We Vikings have an awful reputation with your nation
But when we'd finished plundering and pillages
Made nice villages
Any place name ending "–thorpe" or "–kirk" or "–by"
Was us, you see
Scunthorpe, Ormskirk, Wetherby, Scarborough fair
We named them, yeah

We split your isles diagonally
From south-east to north-west.
Our section called the Danelaw,
King Alfred ruled the rest.
Think we're scary? No, don't flee.
Conquered Saxons would find we
Settled and lived in harmony

Vike-Eng-land.
Though we began as raiders
So well-planned,
You accepted us as traders.

We introduced some new terms:
Husband, gasp, egg, awkward, nag, leg
More than fifty words to leave your lingo
To your liking, thank a Viking.
Your little town of Swansea City
Named for our King Sweyn.
Waterford and Dublin;
Us old Norse Vikings again.
As farmers we made doubly sure
To respect agriculture
With us, locals felt secure

Norse-Scot-land
Large parts of that whole region
Norse-Scot-land
Were improved by Norwegians

London Bridge is falling down
The nursery rhyme comes from our time
Vikings played key roles
In 1014 it was pulled down
By Olaf Haraldsson,
You can call him Ol
In a dispute with King Canute
Olaf's side won.
Ethelred returned as king
And could be heard proclaiming
“Here's to you, Olaf Haraldsson”

Vike-Eng-land
We swapped our life of violence.
Norse-Scot-land
To enjoy the sound of silence

There's no doubt under Viking rule
Britain did improve-y
Feelin' groovy
And that's no lie
La-lie, la, la, lie.
