“Yorda”

I met her in a cage up in-a the sky
where you sit all day and you cry and cry
her name was YORDA, Y-o-r-d-a, YORDA.

I walked up to her and helped her escape
I asked her her name and in a foreign tongue she said:
_(unrenderable)_, I think it's YORDA, Y-o-r-d-a, YORDA.

Well I'm just a wee little horn-headed guy
but when she fell off the edge she nearly broke-a my spine
I'm saying YORDA, Y-o-r-d-a, YORDA.

Well I'm not dumb but I can't understand,
why she walked off a cliff while she held-a my hand
I'm falling 'cuz a YORDA, Y-o-r-d-a, YORDA.

Well we climbed up ladders and walked all night
under flickering nether-light
she picked me up and she said unto me:
"_(unrenderable)_ Thank you boy for rescuing me"

Well, I'm not the world's most passionate guy,
but her mom's an evil bitch and I'm ready
to die for my YORDA, Y-o-r-d-a, YORDA.

I'm saying YORDA, Y-o-r-d-a, YORDA.

I pushed her a crate.  I walked through the door.
I fell to the floor.  She scuffed both her knees.
I hollered for her, and she called for me.

Well that's the way that I want it to stay.
And I always want it to be that way with my Yorda.
Y-o-r-d-a, YORDA.

Girls will be girls, but some boys have horns
It's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world,
except for YORDA, Y-o-r-d-a, YORDA.

Well I never been sacrificed before
I was dragged away but a week before.
Yorda smiled and she took my hand
and she said _(undecipherable)_ I think that means "Oh You Are Grand"

Well I'm just a wee little horn-headed guy
but when she fell off the edge, she nearly broke-a my spine
I'm saying YORDA, Y-o-r-d-a, YORDA.

Yorda.  Yo yo yo yo Yorda.  Yo yo yo yo Yorda.
Yo yo yo yo Yorda.  Yo yo yo yo Yorda.
Yo yo yo yo Yorda.  Yo yo yo yo Yorda.
Yo yo yo yo Yorda.  Yo yo yo yo Yorda.
Yo yo yo yo Yorda.
