===St. George (ver. 2)=== | |||
<poem>A princess lying by the gate | |||
Your king is just too old to act his age | |||
You're calling out for someone strong | |||
To rescue you, that's when I come along | |||
I'm the one they call St. George | |||
Riding high upon my horse | |||
Watch me fisticuff that dragon down | |||
Na na na na | |||
I'm the one they call St. George | |||
I don't need any reward | |||
All I ask is that you have some faith | |||
Na na na na | |||
So, princess, throw your girdle down | |||
And I will wear it for my rightful crown | |||
Doing your bidding when you ask | |||
'Cause Ascalon is up to any task | |||
I'm the one they call St. George | |||
Riding high upon my horse | |||
Watch me fisticuff that dragon down | |||
Na na na na | |||
I'm the one they call St. George | |||
I don't need any reward | |||
All I ask is that you have some faith | |||
Na na na na | |||
We're riding high, yeah | |||
I'm the one they call St. George | |||
Riding high upon my horse | |||
Watch me fisticuff that dragon down (Hey, I'll take him for a ride!) | |||
Na na na na | |||
I'm the one they call St. George | |||
I don't need any reward (I don't need any reward!) | |||
All I ask is that you have some faith | |||
