Little Saxons on the hillside,
Little Saxons made of ticky-tacky
Little Saxons on the hillside,
And they all look much the same.

There's a kite shield, and a round shield,
And a barrel helm and a conical,
And they're all made out of ticky-tacky,
And they all look much the same.

And the Vikings from the Dragon Ships
Come charging and hit the Saxon lines
With a war ax, and a broad sword,
And a bastard and a mace.

And the Saxons they all tumble down
And roll down the hillside,
And they're all cut to pieces,
And they all look just the same.

And the VIkings take the village,
And carry off all the gold,
And they rape all the maidens
And burn the village just for fun.

There's a smoking mound and a smoking mound
And a smoking mound and a smoking mound,
And there'e nothing left but smoking mounds
And they all look just the same.

Little Saxons on the hillside,
Little Saxons made of ticky-tacky
Little Saxons on the hillside,
And they all look just the same.

There's a kite shield, and a round shield,
And a barrel helm and a conical,
And they're all made out of ticky-tacky,
And they all bend just the same.

Little Saxons on the hillside,
Little Saxons made of ticky-tacky
And they're all hit by the Vikings
And they all die just the same.
