lyrics

Saturday morning Valhalla - 1:30 AM
Thor drops his hammer
He picks it up again
Saturday Morning Valhalla - About 2 AM
Loki comes into the room
Lifts wallets, steals drinks from the drunken gods
Then Loki steals out again
Some call him the trickster
Some know he’s just a prick

All Hail, all Hail Valhalla!
Vale, Vale Valhalla!

Saturday Morning Valhalla – at 2:15
In walk the Valkerie
The chosers of the slain
Brunhilde sashays on up to the bar
Takes her pick of the Gods and men
Picks Odin up by the scruff of his tunic
And she Carries him out again
And I say -

All Hail, All Hail Valhalla!
Vale, Vale Valhalla!

Saturday Morning Valhalla - About 3 AM
In walks the young hero Siegfried
He slew the dragon Fafnir
It had troubled the Rhineland
Consumed many a maiden
As a reward for his heroic deed
Siegfried has become a day tripper to -

All Hail, All Hail, Valhalla!
Vale, Vale, Valhalla!

Saturday Morning Valhalla
Across the rainbow bridge
It’s not easy to get there
You can’t even hitch

Saturday Morning Valhalla - 3:15 AM
Siegfried walks up to the youngest chooser of the slain
He says "Hello I'm Siegfried, maybe you know my name
I like the way your flaxen braids peep out from under your bronze helmet
Your blue Aryan eyes calling out to my manhood
I like the way your hips sway in that armour and mail
You're a hot, lithe, sweet thing
And I want to nail you"
And she says -

Oh, Oh Siegfried!
Oooh, Oooh Siegfried!

Saturday Morning Valhalla
Round 4:30 AM
Siegfried asks his blushing dawnbride
“When can I see you again?”
The smile is dashed from her young face
The tears start in her eyes
Her little fists pound the hero’s mighty chest
as she curses and sighs
“Siegfried when I see you again,
I will be choosing and you will be slain,
The dragon Fafnir died in vain”
She cried

Oë, Oë Siegfried!
Oë, Oë Siegfried!

Saturday Morning Valhalla
Across the rainbow bridge
It’s not easy to get there
You can’t even hitch
And I say -

All Hail, all hail Valhalla!
Vale, vale, Valhalla!
