The Anglo-Saxons

Lyrics

We'd like to dedicate this song to our friends, the former inhabitants of the British Isles
 One, two, three
 They used to paint their bodies blue
 A couple of 'em might be
 Distantly related to you
 According to Caesar
 They shaved their entire bodies
 Except for the upper lip
 And the head
 Yeah, the Anglo-Saxons
 Yeah, the Anglo-Saxons
 A subliterate bunch of guys
 Though some sources say otherwise
 Yeah, the Anglo-Saxons
 Yeah, they were men on a mission
 Preserving their poetry by an
 Oral tradition
 Yeah, oral tradition was all you'd get until Saint Augustine brought them the alphabet
 Yeah, the Anglo-Saxons
 Yeah, the Anglo-Saxons
 Yeah, in ten sixty-five they were raging
 But ten sixty-six brought the Norman invasion
 Yeah, the Anglo-Saxons
 Go
