A's for the Axes they swung at His helm;<br>

<br>
_Chorus:<br>
<br>
Merrily! Merrily! So Merry fought Gwi,<br>
a smile on His face and a sword aimed at me!<br>
One shot then two shots came ever so fast!<br>
His Highness Tomeeki, may His reign long last!_<br>
<br>
E's for the Emblem we saw on His shield; (Andrixos: "Was it a chicken:<br>

<br>
I's Iosavich for whose lady He fought;<br>

X marks the spot, now this verse' rhymes all right!<br>
<br>

<br>
Y is for Youthful, our studly new Prince; (That's a quote!) Z is a word that<br>
still makes me wince!<br>
<br>
Now, here at last, the end of my song,<br>
Golly, Your Highness, please don't take this wrong!<br>
<br>
_Chorus:<br>
<br>
Merrily! Merrily! So Merry fought Gwi,<br>
a smile on His face and a sword aimed at me!<br>
One shot then two shots came ever so fast!<br>
His Highness Tomeeki, may His reign long last!_<br>

_Historical Note: Traditionally, the numbers in the chorus increase with<br>
each repetition of the chorus, in order to simulate the gearing up and<br>
blinding speed of the Sultan of Swing._<br>
