|-|The Ballad of St. George (ver. 9)= | |||
<poem>A princess lying by the lake | |||
Your king is just too old to act his age | |||
You're calling out for someone strong | |||
That's when your knight in armor comes along | |||
He's the one they call St. George | |||
Riding high upon his horse | |||
Watch him cut that dragon down to size | |||
Na na na na | |||
He don't need gold, he don't need any reward | |||
All he asks is that you believe in his power | |||
Believe in him | |||
He don't need love, he don't need to be adored | |||
All he asks is that you believe in his power | |||
Believe in him | |||
So, princess, throw your girdle down | |||
And he will wear it for his rightful crown | |||
Doing your bidding when you ask | |||
His Ascalon is up to any task | |||
He's the one they call St. George | |||
Riding high upon his horse | |||
Watch him cut that dragon down to size | |||
Na na na na na na | |||
He don't need gold, he don't need any reward | |||
All he asks is that you believe in his power | |||
Believe in him | |||
He don't need love, he don't need to be adored | |||
All he asks is that you believe in his power | |||
Believe in him | |||
Ride higher | |||
