Young man, so you've heard about Thor?

I said, young man, so you wanna know more?

I said, young man, better check with the lore

There's no need to trust the comics

 

Young man, there's a book you should know

I said, young man, better save up your dough

Don't know Old Norse?  Well, I won't say you should--

A translation still does some good.

 

It's clear to me, you should R.T.F.E.

It's clear to me, you should R.T.F.E.

Heathen people like us

Have a whole lot to learn,

But those New Age books make me burn!

 

It's clear to me, you should R.T.F.E.

It's clear to me, you should R.T.F.E.

Don't believe what you saw

In that ol' Book of Runes--

That stuff's just for tree-hugging loons!

 

Young man, are you listening to me?

I said, young man, there's a book you should see

I said, young man, if you're Heathen for real

So you've got to start it sometime.

 

Young man, take a look for yourself

I said, somewhere it's out there on the shelf

So just grab one, buy your copy today--
I can help you study, OK?

 

It's clear to me, you should R.T.F.E.

It's clear to me, you should R.T.F.E.

Heathen people like us

Have a whole lot to learn,

But those New Age books make me burn!

 

It's clear to me, you should R.T.F.E.

It's clear to me, you should R.T.F.E.

Don't believe anything

Silver Ravenwolf wrote--

You'll feel like a big fool at blots!

 

Young man, I was once in your shoes,

I said, I was feeling mighty confused

I felt no one thought our gods were alive

I was sure runes were New Age jive

 

That's when someone came up to me

and said, young man, here's a book you should see

It's all in here--going straight to the source

is the way to keep your faith Norse!

 

It's clear to me, you should R.T.F.E.

It's clear to me, you should R.T.F.E.

Heathen people like us

Have a whole lot to learn,

But those New Age books make me burn!

 

It's clear to me, you should R.T.F.E.

It's clear to me, you should R.T.F.E.

So much B.S. about Odin and Thor

In New Age books, that's not in the lore!

 

R.T.F.E.

Go on, grab the book--R.T.F.E.

Young man, when you need to learn about Thor

which will you trust:  Ralph Blum--or the lore?

 

R.T.F.E.

You'll learn it if you R.T.F.E.

Young man, young man, take a look for yourself

Young man, get out, buy it fresh off the shelf

 

R.T.F.E.

Just open it--R.T.F.E.

Young man, young man, I was once in your shoes

Young man, I was feeling mighty confused

 

R.T.F.E.

R.T.F.E.

R.T.F.E.

R.T.F.E.
