GET A SWORD

Get a sword, and swing it 'round, 'round, 'round,
As it cleaves your foe, what a happy sound!
Get a sword, and swing it 'round, 'round, 'round,
'Till you find the victory you love.

Get a shield, and hold it high, high, high,
If you don't, remember, you will surely die!
Get a shield, and hold it high, high, high,
And you'll save the only life you love!

In the west there sinks the waning moon,
And it means the battle hour is coming soon;
In the east there dawns the happy day
And you'll hear each Western warrior say:

Got a sword, a-swingin' 'round, 'round, 'round,
Got a sturdy helmet and my shield is sound.
Got a sword, a-swinging 'round, 'round, 'round,
And I'll win the victory I love!
