What Shall We Do With a Drunken Heathen      MP3 (2,2 MB)
Tune: "What Shall We Do With a Drunken Sailor"

1. What shall we do with a drunken heathen,
What shall we do with a drunken heathen,
What shall we do with a drunken heathen,
early in the morning ?

Refrain:
Hooray, and up he rises,
Hooray, and up he rises,
Hooray, and up he rises,
early in the morning.

2. Hang him in the tree until he´s sober,
    Hang him in the tree until he´s sober,
    Hang him in the tree until he´s sober,
    early in the morning.

Refrain

3. Put him in the bog until he´s over,...

4. Send him to the Thing at nine in the morning,…

5. Give him one more beer and he will recover,…

6. Send him to pillage in the village,…

7. Make him tell all stories from the Edda,…

8. Take away his horn, and you will be sorry,…

9. Let the valkyries take him to Valhalla,…
