The Real Old Time Religion
Tune of, and built on "Old Time Religion", trad. Gospel song, 1873 Chorus: Give me that real old time religion, Give me that real old time religion Give me that real old time religion It's good enough for me! - ASATRU AND ODINISM - I hear Valkyries a-comin In the air their song is comin They forgot the words! They're hummin! But they're good enough for me! One-eyed Odin we will follow And in fighting we will wallow Till we wind up in Valhallow Which is good enough for me! It was good enough for Odin Though the tremblin' got forbodin' Then the giants finally strode in, But it's good enough for me! It was good enough for Loki It was good enough for Loki He thinks Thor's a little hokey And that's good enough for me! Shall we sing a verse for Thor, Though he leaves the maidens sore? They always come back for more, So he's good enough for me! Shall we sing in praise of Loki, Though he left poor Midgard smokey? Oh, his sense of humor's hokey, But he's good enough for me! It was good for Thor and Odin It was good for Thor and Odin Grab an axe and get your woad on! and it's good enough for me! All the Gods tore into Loki Saying Deicide is hokey! And they threw him in the pokey! And that's good enough for me! We will worship now with vigor The goddess known as Frigga Tho there are some who don't dig her She is good enough for me! Good old Thor's the god of thunder Really helps us get our plunder Tho his head's still truly dunder He is good enough for me! If you wanna worship Odin You don't have to have a coat on Grab a sword and slap some woad on And that's good enough for me! In the halls of Frey and Freya All the priestesses will lay ya If you're good enough, they'll pay ya! And that's good enough for me! We will sing a verse for Loki He's the old Norse god of Chaos Which is why this verse don't rhyme or scan or nothin' But it's good enough for me... Odin is a mighty thinker And he is a heavy drinker With the girls he likes to tinker So he's good enough for me! Give a hand to darlin' Freya There's no need to ask her "May ya?" For a necklace she will lay ya! And that's good enough for me! We will go and worship Loki He will tell a dirty jokie And get locked up in the pokey But that's good enough for me! We will go to Utgard Castle We'll watch Thor and Elli wrassle Thor will have a lot of hassle But he's god enough for me! We will go and worship Frigga And the men will be much bigga And they won't have a hair-trigga And that's good enough for me! It was good enough for Thor 'n' I can hear the thunder roarin' Or maybe it's his snorin'! But it's good enough for me! Do you know what brought Balder low His Achilles heel, mistletoe His systems are no longer "Go" But he's good enough for me! We will all go worship Hoenir Who has ears that hear by sonar And a most impressive boner! And that's good enough for me! We will raise our cups to Bragi And we'll drink until we're groggy And the pretzels get all soggy But that's good enough for me! It was good enough for Loki Whose humor was okey-dokey He'd laugh and take a tokey And that's good enough for me! We will ask a boon of Mimir With the Northern Lights a-glimmer I would not mind being slimmer Which is good enough for me! We will walk upon ol' Bifrost Tell ol' Heimdall that we're not lost Ask Odin what the runes cost And hit Loki with a pie! Do you see the great God Tyr? He's the one with that huge spear, And with Fenrir's tooth-marks here And I'm glad they're not in me. Now Thor, he's armed with Mjollnir Why choose that, I've no idear He should oughta use a spear but a hammer's fine by me. It was good enough for Loki Tho his tricks are sometimes hokey He likes Gumby, he likes Pokey And he's good enough for me. Odin is the God of Poets Tho sometimes He doesn't show it Hope my rhymin' doesn't blow it! 'Cause He's God enough for me! We'll all worship mighty Odin While he's busy there decodin' All those runes he found a floatin' And it's good enough for me... We'll all worship Thor the Thunderer So he doesn't make a blunder When he RIPS the clouds asunder And it's good enough for me... |
