Do You Speak Norscan? (or "The Forinjar Song")
By Tunar Bluefinsson
We were (G) sailing up the coast of (D) Forinjar,
We were (C) looking out for thralls both near and (G) far,
Then I (G) saw somebody standing on the beach a- (C) head,
So I (G) tapped him on the shoulder
and I (D)snarled at (C)him and (G) said...
Do You Speak Norscan?
He said:
1 - Qu'est que c'est? Je ne vous comprends pas.
Qu'est que c'est? Je ne vous comprends pas.
And as he mumbled some old nonsense in a foreign tongue,
I said captain bring the boat around I think I've found another one.
Repeat, but replace the "Qu'est que c'est?" lines with the following...
2 - Vas is das? Sprekken ze Teutonian?
Achtung! Achtung! Ich bin ein Berliner.
3 - 'Ere cor blimey, guv'nor, 'ave a cup of tea,
'Ere cor blimey, guv'nor, 'ave a cup of tea,
4 - Hast thou no manners, thou egregious cur?
Unhand me at once, and kindly address me as sir.
5 - Bore da, Cymrja am byth! (Make Sheep baah-ing sounds..)
Bore da, Cymrja am byth!
6 - Ah begorrah, top of the morning to you!
Feck, girls, that would be an ecumenical matter!
7 - Och aye the noo! Hoots mon, see you Jimmy!
Och aye the noo! Hoots mon, see you Jimmy! (We surrender!)
8 - Fifteen gold to you, and that's cutting my own throat,
It's a top notch piece of gear, worth every groat.
9 - Matron Mummy says don't talk to strangers,
Overground is full of scary dangers.
10 - Sphinx, Pyramid, Stork, Tart with a Cat,
Ankh, Sundial, Two Trees, Man in a Hat.
11 - Shaddupayaface, just one cornetto!
Respect me, respect the family, capiche!
(the end of the last verse is altered slightly to...)
And as he mumbled some old nonsense in a foreign tongue,
I said captain forget the boat, I think he's Siciljan.
