The Lyrics
Although there is no concrete proof of a female Viking warrior, I based this parody on Birka who was a female weapons-maker and craftswoman. I mix in some Valkyrie images as well to paint the picture of a young male raider in love with a strong female raider.
Pretty Viking, high upon your steed,
pretty Viking, dressed like a Valkyrie,
pretty Viking, love the double-edge sword you choose,
Oh Birka, Leidang not approved!
Shocking!
Pretty Viking, in stunning jewelry
pretty Viking, like your horned-helm gleam
Pretty Viking,
An expert at archery:
Yew wood flexibility
(Makes men) Howl!
Pretty Viking, dressed in style
Leather and armor is so wild
from your head to your toes, so SHINY!
Pretty Viking, love your stride,
pretty Viking, by your side,
pretty Viking, enemies fighting
they surround you, fall left and right—
in action, a most wonderous sight!
Pretty Viking, blessed with Odin‘s might,
pretty Viking, in a short-dress tight
pretty Viking, join with me someday, I pray
Birka, beauty of Freyja, stay
Earthen and birchen heaven awaits;
with golden spirals for my mate
Onwards we sail
A Dragonboat love fairy tale
Come, my strong raider female!
Birka! Pretty Viking!!!
pretty Viking, dressed like a Valkyrie,
pretty Viking, love the double-edge sword you choose,
Oh Birka, Leidang not approved!
Shocking!
Pretty Viking, in stunning jewelry
pretty Viking, like your horned-helm gleam
Pretty Viking,
An expert at archery:

(Makes men) Howl!
Pretty Viking, dressed in style
Leather and armor is so wild
from your head to your toes, so SHINY!
Pretty Viking, love your stride,

in action, a most wonderous sight!
Pretty Viking, blessed with Odin‘s might,

Birka, beauty of Freyja, stay
Earthen and birchen heaven awaits;
with golden spirals for my mate
Onwards we sail
A Dragonboat love fairy tale
Come, my strong raider female!
Birka! Pretty Viking!!!

I have used this comment before, but maybe not on one of your parodies:
Barebreasted Valkyries at Valhalla - Gotta hand it to my Viking ancestors, in a climate where it's below zero degreess Celsius half the year they still managed to invent the Hooters concept!
