So my, face was bruised, I was bloody and beaten
“I’ll take care of your dragon problem, as sure a sound!”
Little had I imagined, my words I would be eatin’
Like a steak, like a cupcake, but more like the ground
With which I was presently getting’ intimate
The fight was just gettin’ good, or so I thought
Truth be told, sword I hold, I was bold and getting’ into it
Endure the pain to stake your claim is what I was taught
Ok, so I ain’t doin’ too well at this very moment
But boy oh boy oh boy, you should’ve seen me before
I was swingin’, I was slashin’, the dragon’s life I was holdin’
But um…well, not no more
My sidekick is buggin’, “Dude you gotta get up!”
“Aww crap, gimme some slack, can’t I just lay here?”
“Well, you’re more than welcome to, if you wanna get crushed.”
Thought this here would be easy, you know, Man of the Year
Not done, no, not quite done quite yet
Despite my best efforts this dragon, she’s doin’ damage
I gotta find a place to hide ‘till things get quiet
On my last leg, I don’t think, that I can manage
It’s…getting dark….
Wait! [simulated thunder strike]
I awoke with a start,
What’s this? I had been graciously spared by fate
Oooooooo weeee, oh joyous day
My better judgment just showed itself
Sidekick hit the road and ran
Alright YYR, I got a head of myself
This is how your hero’s story really began

[Chorus]
Defeat the dungeon and the dragon and come back a he-ro
Defeat the dungeon and the dragon and come back a he-ro

I had graciously agreed to help a town in need
A King, a Princess, a palace, hmmm, what else?
It was nothing more than a self-less act of my chivalry
Yaaaah, but I’m countin’ on putting the trophy on my shelf
Without thinking, I agreed out on a whim
But that Princess, hmmmm, she ain’t lookin’ too bad
Without thinking, I agreed now I’m out on a limb
I showed up, and saw the dragon, oh crap I’d been had
The fame, the fortune, the thanks, the name
These are items I was tryin’ to get my hands around
The flame, the torture, the chains, the game
These are all items, I could’ve done without
Reflection time’s ended and I’m back in the dungeon
Feeling more less than more splendid, I got to my feet
All I had to do was suck it up and get to expungin’
Wait, what was that? Hold on, rewind, repeat
All I had to do was…”Aaaaaah, here she comes”

[Chorus]
Defeat the dungeon and the dragon and come back a he-ro
Defeat the dungeon and the dragon and come back a he-ro

End (Part One)
