The Good Hun

One more land gone

One more land gone

One more land...

One more land gone

One more land gone

One more land is gone...

The Good Hun rode into the fields

He is Attila, he has a great big axe

Thinkin' bout movin' westwards



He's making invasion plans

Against the Romans, and against the Belgians

Yet he conquered the Ostragoths

And defeated the Visigoths

But it's Pope Leo, he says, is a spoil-sport man

The Good Hun

The Good Hun

The Good Hun etc...
