[Intro]
We'd like to dedicate this song to our friends, the former
Inhabitants of the British Isles!
[Verse 1]
They used to paint their bodies blue
A couple of them might be distantly related to you
According to Caesar, they shaved their entire bodies
Except for the upper lip and the head
[Chorus 1]
Yeah, the Anglo-Saxons
Yeah, the Anglo-Saxons
A sub-literate bunch of guys
Though some sources say otherwise
Yeah, the Anglo-Saxons
[Verse 2]
Yeah, they were men on a mission
Preserving their poetry by oral tradition
Yeah, oral tradition is all you get
Until Saint Augustine brought in the alphabet
[Chorus 2]
Yeah, the Anglo-Saxons
Yeah, the Anglo-Saxons
In 1065 they were ragin'
But 1066 brought the Norman invasion
Yeah, the Anglo-Saxons
