Laurel is of Scandinavian descent, thus the tale of:
Ten T'ousand Svedes ran tru da veeds
Chased by vun Norvegian Ten T'ousand Svedes ran to da shore In da battle of Copenhagen. |
T'roughout da world da Vikings sailed
To Ireland and to France Dey even found America Vun afternoon by chance. |
Vay, vay back in history
Back ven da vorld vas new Norvegians searched all over to find some snoose to chew. |
My Grandpa says, and he should know,
Da Svedes made up their minds To beat da Norsky Vikings And kick a few "behinds." |
Dey fished for Lutefisk and Torsk
It helped to make dem strong And you and me, ve know a Norsk Cannot do nutting wrong. |
But history, so my Grandpa says,
Shows dat da Norskies von Dey clobbered all da Svedes and Danes And made it lots of fun. |
But Svedes and Danes were envious
Of Viking trips and raids Da Viking shields and helmet horns Made all dose folks afraid. |
Ten T'ousand Svedes ran tru da veeds
Chased by vun Norvegian Da dust from da veeds made snoose for da Svedes And dey called it COPENHAGEN! |
Happy Hunting.
