If I Had a Hammer                                  
(Parody & to the tune of "If I Had a Hammer" by Lee Hays and Pete Seeger, 1949)

If I had a hammer, I´d hammer in the morning,
I´d hammer in the evening, all over Midgard;
I´d hammer out trolls, I´d hammer out thurses,
I´d hammer out the enemies of my brothers and my sisters
aha, all over Midgard.

Oohoo, hoo-ooo, Oohoo, hoo-ooo

If I had a sword, I´d swing it in the morning,
I´d swing it in the evening, all over Midgard,
I´d swing it at dragons, I´d swing it at muspili,
I´d swing it at the foes of my brothers and my sisters,
aha, all over Midgard.

If I had a spear, I´d throw it in the morning,
I´d throw it in the evening, all over Midgard,
I´d throw it at frost giants, I´d throw it at the sons of Surt,
I´d throw it at the foes of my brothers and my sisters,
aha, all over Midgard.

I have a hammer, and I have a sword,
I have a spear to throw, all over Midgard,
It´s the hammer of Donar,
It´s the sword of Freyr,
It´s the spear with which I dedicate my enemies to Wodan,
aha, all over Midgard,
all over Midgard, all over Midgard!
Yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh….
