Ray Stevens - Erik The Awful songtekst

Je score:

Way back in history along the Nordic coast
that was the sound all the people feared the most
It would echo thru the night up and down the foggy fj-
ord
It was Erik and the bloodthirsty Horde!

Chorus: Erik the Awful, the Brutal and Tenacious
Erik the Awful, the Ruthless and Courageous
Subtle as a chainsaw, lacking all the Social Graces
You can run, but you cannot hide!

YES! And as the oars of the sleek, fierce Viking ship 
cut thru the water like 
knives thru the fog-shrouded Nordic sea, transporting 
the wild, marauding 
band of Viking heathens stealthily towards their 
unsuspecting, slumbering
victims, there he stood, on the foredeck, Erik the 
Awful, the wildest, 
bloodthirstiest Viking of them all!

(his Momma named him Erik 'cause she couldn't spell 
AHHGGGRRRFFFFLLLLQQHH!)

He had a hairy head, a hairy face, hairy chest, hairy 
legs, hairy boots and a 
hairy hat, shaped like a big bullet with horns comin' 
out the sides.....and 
once he started after ya he'd NEVER stop! 
He'd turn to his oarsmen in his 37 oared fj-ord and 
he'd say: "MORDEN BORDEN 
FJORDEN GORDEN!" which was Viking for:

"YA-HOO!!!!!, RAVAGE, PILLAGE, PLUNDER, 
MAIM AND PUT BIG HICKEYS ON ALL THEM FAIR DAMSELS!"

Chorus: And it was Erik the Awful, the Brutal and 
Tenacious
Erik the Awful, mercy sakes! and goodness gracious!
His appetite for slaughter was simply voracious
You gotta sleep with your sneakers by your side!

YES! And when the villagers heard that awful battle-
cry:

* YA-HOOOOOOOOOOO! *

That's the one! They would run for their lives, fleeing 
over hills and
thru valleys to the river, whereupon they would walk 
mid-stream for 37 and 1/2 
miles, climbing out on the low-lying branch, shinnying 
down a young sapling
onto rocky ground and leaping from stone to stone until 
they arrived one week 
later at a secret cave 97 miles away, and as they sat 
down for the first time 

"YA-HOOOO!!!! MORDEN BORDEN FJORDEN GORDEN!"

Chorus: Yes, it was Erik the Awful, the Brutal and 
Tenacious
Erik the Awful, turned up in the darndest places
Subtle as a chainsaw, lacking all the Social Graces
You can run, but you cannot hide!

OH! And this time they cut south to Paris, bought 
tickets on the Orient 
Express to Istanbul, hired a U-Haul to the Coast, 
jumped a Greek freighter
across the Mediterranian Sea to MON-golia, hooked up 
with a camel caravan into 
the heart of the Gobi Desert, and as they paused at an 
oasis, to lift one 
handful of cool water to their parched lips, over their 
shoulder they heard:


"YA-HOOOO!!!! MORDEN BORDEN FJORDEN GORDEN!"

They fled to Calcutta! 
* YA-HOOOOOOOO! *

They fled to the Himalayas!
* YA-HOOOOOOOO! *

Tokyo!
* YA-HOOOOOOOO! *

Toronto!
* YA-HOOOOOOOO! *

Toledo and Heyhailea, Georgia.....
* YA-HOOOOOOOO! *

But it was no use! They finally succumbed to a savage 
plundering and 
pillaging followed by a big hickey party on the 
outskirts of what is now 
Washington, DC, where the decendants of Erik can still 
be found today, 
working as Special Agents for the IRS!

Erik later amassed a small fortune posing for Molly 
Hatchet album covers, 
and did stuntwork for Arnold Schwartzenegger in Conan 
the Barbarian! He also 
won an Academy Award for his dual role as a train wreck 
and his tender 
portrayal of King Kong's daddy! Oh, you might remember 
the end of that one:
there wasn't a dry eye in the house when he married the 
Empire State Building.
And who could forget the evening he ate the entire 
Kingdom of the East?
With no sugar?

Chorus: Erik the Awful, the Brutal and Tenacious
Erik the Awful, the Hungry and Voracious
Subtle as a chainsaw, lacking all the Social Graces
You can run but you cannot hide!

* YA-HOOOOOOOOOOO! *
