Alan Pring - 1066 Lyrics

Have you heard about ten sixty-six
When Harold and William were up to their tricks
Ready to give each other pastings
At a punch up called the Battle of Hastings?
You could hear the armour clink and rattle
As their men lined up at a place called Battle

All day long, all day long groans and shouts and cheers
Would not stop, would not stop with their bows
And swords and spears
See that arrow fly up in the sky
High up into the sky High, whack, into Harold's eye
Rattle, rattle, clink and rattle, groans and cheers
Into battle, into battle with swords and spears

William won the day now all was done
He became "Conqueror" when the battle was won
Harold's troops all went into retreat,
They all knew that they had suffered a defeat
You could hear the armour clink and rattle,
As their men lined up at a place called Battle

All day long, all day long groans and shouts and cheers
Would not stop, would not stop with their bows
And swords and spears
See that arrow fly up in the sky
High up into the sky High, whack, into Harold's eye
Rattle, rattle, clink and rattle, groans and cheers
Into battle, into battle with swords and spears

Rattle, rattle, clink and rattle
Into battle, into battle
Rattle, rattle, clink and rattle
Into battle, into battle Ooh
High whack into Harold's eye
