The Woad Song

Check out Ben singing his favorite new song... and a classic favorite from the pubs in England.  (Don't worry, it's dark at the beginning... video will get brighter).

Thanks to Grandad for teaching it to Jane and Noah.  The spinning while singing is Ben's own addition.

Here are the actual lyrics (our family version -- here are the full lyrics):

Romans came across the channel

All dressed up in tin and flannel

Half a pint of woad per man'll

Clothe us more than these.

Woad's the stuff to show men.

Woad to scare your foemen.

Boil it to a brilliant hue

And rub it on your back and your abdomen.

Ancient Briton ne'er did hit on

Anything as good as woad to fit on

Neck or knees or where you sit on.

Bottoms up to woad!
