Knight Danika's Dragon

The villagers frown
As the dragon flies 'round
Fire burning everything
Including the choir where people sing

Only Danika's brave enough,
To slay the dragon and other stuff
"Slaying dragons is easy," she said
"I'll slay him before your kids are in bed."

I have got to admit the dragon is scary
It might sound weird but his chest is all hairy
I've got to do it or no parade
I've got to do it or I won't get paid

When the dragon lay there dead on the ground
The villagers cheer as they come to surround
In the church I was knighted later that day
For I Knight Danika dragons I slay
