Fatguys Banner - Vert, a tankard Or.

Sven

(by Lord Gorlan of the Red Lands, 1998)
(Tune: "Ben" by Michael Jackson)

    Sven,
    You' re the King that we've been waiting for
    Sven,
    You'll lead us at the Pennsic War

    Drachenwalders are know to have some fun
    We don't intend to bother anyone
    Someone's got to keep this crew in line
    I'm glad the job is yours, not mine.
    (the job is yours not mine)

    Chorus:
    The other Kingdoms say,
    "My God, Drachenwald is here
    "Hide the women
    "Hide the beer
    "Hide the Food
    "Hide the sheep
    "Be sure to keep one eye open , when you sleep."

    Sven
    Our kingdom's numbers may be small
    Sven
    But still we'll fight and have a ball

    And at night, when the fighting is all done
    We'll drink and have our fun
    And when the night expires
    We're still standing by the fires.
    (still standing by the fires)

    Chorus:

    Sven
    The other kingdoms may complain
    Sven
    We hope that you'll not stop our games

    The whole Known World knows its true
    No one can party like we do
    And tomorrow we will do it all again
    And embarrass our King Sven
    (Embarrass our King Sven)

    Chorus:


History. The Story Behind this Song

 The current King (as of the time of the writing) is Sir Sven Gunnerson. He will be leading the Drachenwald forces at Pennsic this August (1998) which I am sure will contain several of his countrymen. The Swedish SCAdians have a reputation for being able to process Alcohol. The wise will advise "Do not try and keep up with the Swedes." The song "Ben" was on the radio and the title just came to mind.
