Song 6: "Anglo Saxon Rap"
Anglo Saxons lived long ago
They came from Europe, see how they row
Landed in Anglia, in the East
To celebrate, they had a feast.
Wooden house were what they built
They drove out the Celts and felt no guilt
Used helmets, armour, sword and shields
And when they were done, they farmed their fields
Anglo Saxons...yeah

Anglo Saxons lived long ago
They worked their farms with spade and hoe
When a King died, or so they wrote
They buried his body, treasure and boat.
Gold jewellery and coins, both things they like
King Offa was famous, for his dyke
Most of the treasure rotted away
But some has survived to the present day.
Anglo Saxons...yeah
