> Big Axe in his hand.
> 
> Now in this town there lived a Norman by the name of Jean Pierre.
> He was foppish and a dandy and put perfume in his hair.
> But was vicious and was deadly with the rapier at his side And the many
> men that faced him were the many men that died.
> Many men that died.
> 
> The Norman's fame at wenching was a scandal in the land.
> A duchess or a milkmaid were like putty in his hand.
> He would use them for his pleasure and then send them home in shame.
> And their menfolk greatly trembled at the mention of his name.
> Mention of his name.
> 
> Now the viking started talking, made it plain to folks around.

> he sent her back to Norway only after she's been laid.
> After she'd been laid.
>

> sharpened up his rapier and threw down another beer.
> Forty vengeance-seeking brothers he had slain unto the man, Forty-one
> would be the viking with the Big Axe in his hand.
> Big Axe in his hand.
> 
> Well, the morning passed so quickly, it was time for them to meet.
> Wearing puffs and slashes, Jean Pierre stood in the street.
> And the viking dressed in leather and with furs upon his frame Was the
> object of the snobbish Norman's obvious disdain.
> Obvious disdain.
> 
> "I remember now your sister," said the Norman with a smile, "You have
> similar taste in fashion and no sense at all of style.
> I would rather slay your tailor, but I'll kill you where you stand.
> You won't even get a chance to use that Big Axe in your hand."
> Big Axe in your hand.

> "I come all the way from Norway," said the viking with a sneer, "Not to

> I come here to slay a Norman dog whose blood I've vowed to spill And it
> pleases me to see that you are dressed so fit to kill."
> Dressed so fit to kill.
> 
> Jean Pierre glared at the viking with a face so scarlet red.
> His honor would be only soothed when viking blood was shed.
> Peasants watched them from their windows, everybody held their breath.
> They knew this Norseman viking was a hand away from death.
> Hand away from death.
> 
> Well, the Norman started forward with red murder in his hand, And the
> minstrels sing the battle was the swiftest in the land.
> The rapier barely cleared it's scabbard when the Axe came crashing down
> And the Norman toppled over with a Big Axe in his crown.
> Big Axe in his crown.
> 
> It was over in a moment and the folks had gathered round.
> There before them lay the body of the Norman on the ground.
> Well, he might have gone on living, never thought of lying dead...
> But, it's kind of hard to think when there's a Big Axe in your head.
> Big Axe in your head.
> 
> Big Axe, Big Axe...
> And it's kind of hard to think when there's a Big Axe in your head, Big
