| There once was an old man who loved power and glory | |
| But in his long life he just had never won | |
| So he had a dream, let us call it obsession | |
| To stand in the middle, be admired by everyone | |
| He saw his one chance when rumors were spreading | |
| A dragon arrived in the outskirts of the town | |
| He thought if someone whould challenge the beast | |
| He would live forever even if he died by hunting it down | |
| [chorus:] | |
| He wants to fight the dragon, he wants to kill the beast | |
| He wants to fight the dragon, he wants to kill the beast | |
| And drawing his longsword with it′s edges blazing | |
| He rode to the lair to shed thick dragon blood | |
| He daydreamed that he would return home as a hero | |
| But his horse stumbled and he landed headlong in the mud | |
| [chorus] | |
| As he lay there sobbing the dragon came along | |
| And saw the poor old man, oh, there had something to be done | |
| He invited the man to his cave where they drank tea | |
| And they became the best friends in the world of dragon and man | |
| [chorus] |
