In Amt-Year 16 we took a little trip
Along with Colonel Breetai
On a rented cramped landship
We took a little Lindon
and we took a little Ween
And Kansookie, Ulf, and Vidar
and the 'Nihalus machine

We threw our shots
The Burning Landers kept a sluffin'
There was a-just as many as there was a while ago
We hit 'em with our swords
and they just kept a-comin'
they never took a death 'cuz Arimithris told 'em so

Well we charged up their hill
And we smacked 'em all around
The reeves declared us winners
And began another round
Gunther threw a doomsday
And the reeves got all upset
Arimithris got all pissed off
'cuz they hadn't beat us yet

We threw our shots
The Burning Landers kept a sluffin'
There was a-just as many as there was a while ago
We hit 'em with our swords
and they just kept a-comin'
they never took a death 'cuz Arimithris told 'em so

And we ran up the hill
with the sun all in our faces
Father Tom tried to run but his knee just wouldn't go
Ulf ran so fast his arrow-toter couldn't catch him
And they never took a death 'cuz Arimithris told 'em so

We won three charges
and the 'Landers scored 'em two
And they thought they were the winners
So we told 'em who to screw
Old Mithy's smokin' somthing
'cuz we know who REALLY won
and all that really matters is the CK had some fun

We threw our shots
The Burning Landers kept a sluffin'
There was a-just as many as there was a while ago
We hit 'em with our swords
and they just kept a-comin'
they never took a death 'cuz Arimithris told 'em so
