lyrics
Alive in a barn, looking 'round the hay
I misplaced my yarn just the other day
I jumped in the stall to look by the horse
And out came Odin, God of the Norse!
He said to me, "My boy I have your yarn.
You will go on a journey outside of the farm
To look for my people that are in a fort
They are the ones that call me God of the North"
I am the God of the North
I am the God of the Norse
I ride around on a horse
'Cause I am the God of the North
So I did as Odin said
I ran outside to find his clan, even though I had no plan
I know, I know that I will lose
because my quest is like my shoes
they never fail to make me bruised
I ran away to go find his people
They were missing from their steeple
I looked everywhere but could not find them
Because they didn't leave a trail of phlegm
I am the God of the North
I am the God of the Norse
I ride around on a horse
'Cause I am the God of the North
One day I chanced upon a little slug
He was crawling around on my new rug
This slug knew where the people were
So I implored him, "Please tell me, sir."
He said, "Son I'll tell you where they are
But first you must travel to my car."
"What is this you say," said I to the half-snail
"Don't call me that or your mission will fail"
I am the God of the North
I am the God of the Norse
I ride around on a horse
'Cause I am the God of the North
