You can’t beat a hill giant for wrestling
and a vorpal blade is made for beheading
but there’s nothing that will lift your soul
like watching an ogre fight a troll

When an ogre fights a troll
it’s time to rock and roll
you can draw a crowd to pay a toll
when an ogre fights a troll

Hangin’s are quite entertainin’
and who doesn’t love a bear baitin’
executions always draw a crowd
but you know it gets twice as loud

When an ogre fights a troll
it’s time to rock and roll
you can draw a crowd to pay a toll
when an ogre fights a troll

A troll’s arms and claws are longer
but an ogre’s a little stronger
and they both can take a punch
so be sure you went and packed a lunch

You need a heck of a ref
to make sure no one’s beat to death
I recommend a golem made of stone
because the ref might have to break some bones

Neither one’s going to jab or jive
but expect a haymaker or five
doesn’t stop till one’s knocked out
or till the Night Watch breaks up the bout

When an ogre fights a troll
it’s time to rock and roll
you can draw a crowd to pay a toll
when an ogre fights a troll
