Reference: 'Beowulf' 

Dumb as dirt and twice as mean, such a son makes
Mother crazy

Foul as sewers I have seen, ugly, loutish, large
and lazy

That's the child I've had to raise, what's a mom
to do?

Drag him in an ocean cave and stay to watch him,
too



Chorus: Son of mine you've been a disappointment
since your birth

         Now I've had to bury you in this cold
Northern earth

         I know you would be sorry if you weren't
so very dead

         But you never listened to a word I
said



Everybody has to rest, even I got sleepy

Sonny left our little nest on errands cruel and
creepy

Came back with a haunch of man gnawed down to the
bone

Left each night from that day on as I slept like
a stone



         Chorus



Vikings gathered in their hall, heroes all in war
delighting

When my Grendel came to call, he was met with
mighty fighting

One among them took his arm, ripped it off for
good

Chased him to our ocean home and killed him where
he stood



         Instrumental



When I found my wine was spiked, it was far too
late to aid him

Though there wasn't much I liked I was often glad
I made him

So I must avenge him now, what's a mom to do?

If he was yours anyhow, I'll bet that you would
too



         Chorus
