Viking Shipbuilder's Rap

by Christian Borger

Lets build a ship with wood and nails with the first strip-cartoon on the only sail!
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da!

(Vikings tune of them bones)

The trees turn into the keel, the keel is connected to the strakes, 
the strakes are connected to the rib cage,
the rib cage is connected to the cleats,
the cleats are connected to the cross beams,
the cross beams are connected to the benches and those were some parts of the ship.
Them ships, them ships, them big ships, them ships, them ships, them big ships, them ships, them ships, them big ships, and those were some parts of the ship!

Getting ready!

(To the tune of I'm Getting Married In the Morning from the play, My Fair Lady)

I'm going sailing in the morning,
shwing shwing the heads are gonna fall.
Don't lose the weather-vain,
but please don't make it rain,
and keep me alive for long!
If I am dying get me to shore,
if I am fighting get me another sword!
For I'm going sailing in the morning,
wish me luck I'm gonna die,
roar roar bang boom,
here comes a typhoon,
but we'll fight it until it's gone!
For I'm going sailing in the morning,
I'm gonna row three thousand miles!
Girls come and kiss me,
'cause you will miss me,
and pray that I will stay alive!

Across The Atlantic

(To the tune of Jingle Bell Rock)

Twenty-eight, twenty-eight, twenty-eight days,
took the Vikings to reach Newfoundland. Bad weather,
thunder storms, men getting sick. That's the way the
Vikings sailed a ship.
Twenty-eight, twenty-eight, twenty-eight days,

That's the way the Vikings, that's the way the Vikings, that's the way the Vikings sailed a ship.
