Lyrics

TROGDOR!
TROGDOR!
Trogdor was a man
I mean, he was a dragon man
Er, maybe he was just a dragon
But he was still TROGDOR!
TROGDOR!

Burninating the countryside
Burninating the peasants
Burninating all the peoples
In their thatched-roof COTTAGES!
THATCHED-ROOF COTTAGES!

{guitar solo starts up}

{spoken}
Whoa! Listen to those wicked dueling guitar solos! It's like squeedly vs. meedly over here. Go squeedly! Go squeedly! SQUEEDLY WINS!

When all the land is in ruin
And burnination has forsaken the countryside
Only one guy will remain
My money's on

{singing}
TROGDOR!
TROGDOR!

{spoken}
And the Trogdor comes in the NIIIIIGHT!

Trivia

• The guitar riff in the chorus is strikingly similar to the riff used at the beginning of Blue Cheer's 1968 hit "Summertime Blues". Some could also argue that it sounds similar to the 1984 Metallica song "For Whom The Bell Tolls" or "The God That Failed".
• The "meedly" in the wicked dueling guitar solos is a reference to Strong Bad Email #36 guitar.
• The Brothers Chaps use this version in Happy Trogday.
• The song is an unlockable bonus track in the game Guitar Hero II for Playstation 2 and Xbox 360.
