Lyrics
(The song starts with a jaunty, slightly off-key melody played on a lute, punctuated by the occasional clink of tankards and the rhythmic thump of feet on cobblestones)
Verse 1:
From swampy bogs to caves so deep,
Where slimy things and shadows creep,
We march with swords and hearts ablaze,
To vanquish foes in a bloody haze!
Verse 2:
The scum and villainy we'll face,
With laughter loud and a wicked pace,
Their fear we'll savor, their blood we'll drink,
A feast of victory, a glorious wink!
Chorus:
Heave ho, lads, and raise a cheer,
For glory, gold, and a tavern near!
We'll fight and feast, and laugh and sing,
The heroes of the world, our legend will ring!
Verse 3:
Through misty fog and dungeons dark,
We'll find the treasure, leave our mark,
With axes sharp and spells so bright,
We'll banish darkness with all our might!
Chorus:
Heave ho, lads, and raise a cheer,
For glory, gold, and a tavern near!
We'll fight and feast, and laugh and sing,
The heroes of the world, our legend will ring!
Verse 4:
The plump waitress, with a smile so wide,
Will serve us ale, with naught to hide,
We'll feast and drink, and tell our tales,
Of battles won and victories that prevail!
Chorus:
Heave ho, lads, and raise a cheer,
For glory, gold, and a tavern near!
We'll fight and feast, and laugh and sing,
The heroes of the world, our legend will ring!
Verse 5:
From goblin hordes to dragon's breath,
We'll conquer all, and claim our wealth,
With every victory, a tale to tell,
Of heroes bold, and a life that swells!
Chorus:
Heave ho, lads, and raise a cheer,
For glory, gold, and a tavern near!
We'll fight and feast, and laugh and sing,
The heroes of the world, our legend will ring!
Final Verse:
So raise your tankards, let the music play,
For we are heroes, come what may!
We'll return with tales, and riches grand,
The greatest heroes, in this magical land!
End
(The song ends with a flourish of the lute and a final, hearty cheer from the party)
