- The Anglo-Saxons Lyrics / with translations[John:] "We'd like to dedicate this song to our friends,
the former
Inhabitants of the british isles!"
They used to paint their bodies blue
A couple of them might be distantly related to you.
According to ceasar they shaved their entire bodies,
Except for the upper lip and the head
Yeah, the anglo-saxons
Yeah, the anglo-saxons
A sub-literate bunch of guys,
Though some sources say otherwise.
Yeah, the anglo-saxons
Yeah, they were men on a mission,
Preserving their poetry by oral tradition
Yeah, oral tradition is all you get
Until saint augustine brought in the alphabet.
Yeah, the anglo-saxons
Yeah, the anglo-saxons,
In 1065 they were ragin'
But 1066 brought the norman invasion.
Yeah, the anglo-saxons
Go!
the former
Inhabitants of the british isles!"
They used to paint their bodies blue
A couple of them might be distantly related to you.
According to ceasar they shaved their entire bodies,
Except for the upper lip and the head
Yeah, the anglo-saxons
Yeah, the anglo-saxons
A sub-literate bunch of guys,
Though some sources say otherwise.
