Song of the Viking - 2015 Remaster

I am a viking of some note
 Knuts my name and here I float
 Out on the sea in a great big boat
 And I'm the one who beats the drum in time
 To stroke the oars that drive our galleons on
 And while we rowed we had our song
 And we had our god and it may seem odd
 But at least there was a cause
 Caught a wind and we upped the sail
 Lost two ships when it turned to a gale
 Down went a third when she rammed on a whale
 Though we despaired we could not fail
 And through it all we never faltered
 Late at night I lay on the deck
 Wondering why I risk my neck
 Picture myself in a sinking wreck
 Ande down I'm going not knowing why
 I just can't quite recall the reason why
 It's such a drag to carry on
 But there was a cause, but there was a cause
 But there was a reason
 Reason
 If you like I'll be your viking
 Sit you down to a nordic meal
 Give you strength that you might wield
 A viking sword and a viking shield
 And off well sail in mighty ships of yore
 Perhaps we shouldn't let our hands get sore
 We need someone to pull the oars
 And to do the chores
 So we need a cause, we need a reason, reason why
