Now here’s a tale from the post-war scene, Where the heads roll clean and the axe stays keen... ♪ --- [Verse 1] Down in Sanctuary, just past dawn, Barney woke up with his boxer briefs on, Said, “No more bullets, they ain’t my deal— Just swingin’ that Grognak steel.” --- [Chorus – Doo-wop harmonies] ♪ Ohh-whee-ooh, bop-shoo-bop ♪ He don’t shoot, he don’t squeal— ♪ Bop-bop-shoo-bop ♪ He just swings with zeal. ♪ Bop-bop-shoo-bop ♪ If you blink, you might just feel... A little violence. --- [Verse 2] He’s tossed a mine, he’s flung a ‘nade, Got Mysterious help when things looked grave, But it’s all in stride with that battlefield appeal— Just swingin’ that Grognak steel. --- [Bridge] McCready ran, and Piper gasped, Dogmeat barked at the bloody aftermath. Codsworth’s buzzin’, tryin’ to keep it real, But Barney just grins with that vintage zeal. --- [Chorus – Repeat with variation] ♪ Ohh-whee-ooh, bop-shoo-bop ♪ Barney’s bad, Barney’s bold— ♪ Bop-bop-shoo-bop ♪ He’s a tale they told. ♪ Bop-bop-shoo-bop ♪ Not a bullet, just a blade to wield... And a little violence. --- [Outro – softly] ♪ So if you see that axe in the moonlight gleam, Just pray you're not part of Barney’s dream... ♪ Swingin’... swingin’ that Grognak steel...
