Lyrics

F, U, Thu, A, R, K, G
W, H, N, I, J, Ei
P, Z, S, T, B, E
M, L, Ng-sound, D, and O.
Now I know my Nordic Runes;
Next time won't you join my tune?

Fehu, Uruz, Thorn, and Ansuz
Raido, Kaunaz, Gebo, Wunjo
Hagalaz, then Nauthiz, Isa
Jero, Eoh (that's a dipthong)
Pertho, Algiz, Sowilo, then
Tyr, Berkana Eihwaz, Manaz
Laguz, Inguz (that's the Ng-sound)
then comes Dagaz, last Othila
All twenty-four letters in this
order form the Futhark that the
All-Father discovered when he
hung himself on Yggdrasil.
