RUDOLPH THE ARMOURED REINDEER

You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen,
Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen,
But do you recall the most famous reindeer of all?

Rudolph, the armoured reindeer, had a shiny suit of plate,
Carefully buffed and polished, all the elves thought it looked great,
All of the other reindeer, used to laugh and call him names,
Now they just cower in fear, cause he plays those stick jock games!

Then one foggy Christmas Eve, Santa came to say,
"Rudolph, with your armour bright, won't you fight for king tonight?"
Then all the reindeer loved him, and they shouted out in glee,
"Rudolph, the armoured reindeer, recreate some history!"

UP ON THE HELM TOP

Up on the helm top rattan falls,
Beating down without a pause,
Down on the shield wall pole arms beat,
On one's tender flesh to meet!

Ho Ho Ho!
Feeling those blows!
Ho Ho Ho!
Dressed in steel clothes!
Up on the helm top,
Bash, Bash, Bash,
Down on the noggin,
With a crash!

Here comes a Duke who practiced well,
Working with a sword and pell,
Coming to beat me till I cry,
"Good, m'lord!" and then I die!

Ho Ho Ho!
Feeling those blows!
Ho Ho Ho!
Dressed in steel clothes!
Up on the helm top,
Bash, Bash, Bash,
Down on the noggin,
With a crash!

When all is over, said and done,
Wasn't that a lot of fun!
Fighting and bashing, left and right,
What a jolly Christmas night!

Ho Ho Ho!
Feeling those blows!
Ho Ho Ho!
Dressed in steel clothes!
Up on the helm top,
Bash, Bash, Bash,
Down on the noggin,
With a crash!

THE ARMOURER'S CHRISTMAS SONG

Hammers pounding by an open fire,
Harness parts all in a row,
Anvils ringing, like the sound of a choir,
And folks dressed in boots and hose


Everybody knows
Some armour made with loving care,
Helps defend the charging knight,
See the fighters with their eyes all aglow,
As they gaze upon the polished suit so bright.

They know that when their order's finished, on it's way,
It's gonna make them very happy, on that day,
And every armour nut is gonna spy,
To see that gent all dressed in cap-a-pie!

And so when armour comes on Christmas day,
For fighters, from one to ninety-two,
Although it's been said, many times, many ways,
Merry fighting, to you
