|
Dumb as dirt and twice as mean, such a son makes mother crazy
|
|
Foul as sewers I have seen, ugly, loutish, large, and lazy
|
|
That's the child I've had to raise, what's a mom to do
|
|
Drag him in an ocean cave and stay to watch him too
|
|
|
|
Chorus: Son of mine you've been a disappointment since your birth
|
|
Now I've had to bury you in this cold Northern earth
|
|
I know you would be sorry if you weren't so very dead
|
|
But you never listened to a word I said
|
|
|
|
Everybody has to rest even I got sleepy
|
|
Sonny left our little nest on errands cruel and creepy
|
|
Came back with a haunch of man gnawed down to the bone
|
|
Left each night from that day on as I slept like a stone
|
|
|
|
Vikings gathered in their hall, heroes all in war delighting
|
|
When my Grendel came to call, he was met with mighty fighting
|
|
One among them took his arm, ripped it off for good
|
|
Chased him to our ocean home and killed him where he stood
|
|
|
|
When I found my wine was spiked it was far too late to aid him
|
|
Though there wasn't much I liked I was often glad I made him
|
|
So I must avenge him now, what's a mom to do
|
|
If he was yours anyhow I'll bet that you would too
|
