O, Carleton, our alma mater...
No, that's not the right song...
We come from St. Olaf, we sure are the real stuff...
Wrong again...
The Nordleigh Song To the tune of The Great, Grand, Gory, and
Glorious, Whip-em-Into-an-Orgasmic-Battle-Frenzy, Blacken the Hills
with Bodies, Yee-Hah Let's Kick Some Kitty Butt And Go Have Pizza,
Northshield Doo Dah Ditty
We scamper 'neath the Snowflake's wing;
Squirrels dancing on your head,
Rodents, we, with tales unfurled;
Bats or penguins on our shield?
Belting you with salted nuts;
From the Canon we do hail.
Rodents rampant, colored gold:
Saints and Dragons, Rome-antics:
Our names as fearsome as our bite;
In vowels and consonants we reign;
Singing "Landlord" night and day.
Pun tax money pouring in!
Pun tax running at full clip:
Packed with squirrels in Lisa's care,
From spirit's hill to land of Knights
Our natures blithe, but be it known:
See our martial diligence.
Like the winter's harshest cold;
Squirrels from high upon the hill,
We in coats of gold and black,
Though you fought in battle brave,
Saint Anthony of Kellogg stands,
Should stranded by the road we be
Silliness to all we bring!
On the field, in Bardic Ring,
Nordleigh comes upon you!
By the valiant Bridgette led.
Run away or you'll be dead!
Nordleigh comes upon you!
We are clawed and fanged squirrels!
Welcome to our frigid world.
Nordleigh comes upon you!
Nay! To that we cannot yield!
"North" is "nord," but what is "field"?
Nordleigh comes upon you!
Fangs and claws that slash and cut!
Yah, sure, we like gore and guts!
Nordleigh comes upon you!
There we bathe our bushy tails.
Its waters rush on without fail.
Nordleigh comes upon you!
Brave are we, and also bold!
(Just wish we weren't so darn cold!)
Nordleigh comes upon you!
Courtly Love and Bardic Schtick:
Last courts, Chaucer, take your Pick!
Nordleigh comes upon you!
Un-spellable, a dreadful sight:
Beware if you don't say them right!
Nordleigh comes upon you!
Names never cease more length to gain.
Proudly known as Herald's Bane!
Nordleigh comes upon you!
Freak the mundanes so they stay
Far out of our fearsome way.
Nordleigh comes upon you!
Five cents per into the tin:
First year's only money in:
Nordleigh comes upon you!
Paying twenties for one trip!
Tax repeal makes puns less hip:
Nordleigh comes upon you!
SCA-mobile extrordinaire!
"Are we almost halfway there?"
Nordleigh comes upon you!
We'll scurry to our gath'ring sites
Romp we to our hearts' delight.
Nordleigh comes upon you!
We answer danger with fearless tone.
If threat comes to one of our own,
Nordleigh comes upon you!
Teach us all to fight and fence:
Soon you'll need some more defense!
Nordleigh comes upon you!
Like the Viking men of old;
Like the wolf upon the fold;
Nordleigh comes upon you!
Squirrels from river valley will
Unite to sing and fight and kill!†
Nordleigh comes upon you!
Tail to tail and back to back,
Singing as we slash and hack!
Nordleigh comes upon you!
Nothing now your souls can save.
Piling acorns on your grave,
Nordleigh comes upon you!
Guarding us in foreign lands--
Seneschals and travelling bands.
Nordleigh comes upon you!
In need of aid or transport free
Who saves us but St. Anthony?
Nordleigh comes upon you!
