On February 14 of every year
We remember the life of a man without fear
Oh who could forget the legend of Saint Valentine
His pretty little girlfriend, well he loved her so
But when he tried to date her, she only said no
Seems like a problem, but not for brave Valentine
He went to his house and he grabbed a knife
Stabbed it in his chest, thus ending his life
But before he died he managed to pull out his heart
He put it in a box, and tied it with string
Sent it to his lover while it still was beating
His girlfriend then opened the world’s first true valentine
So now we remember Valentine’s dedication
In place of Lupercalia, an old pagan celebration
Where the priests would sacrifice a goat and a dog
And all the women would be whipped with long leather rods
To make sure they’d be fertile for the upcoming year
But now we just send chocolates
On February 14 of every year
We remember the life of a man without fear
Oh who could forget the legend of Saint Valentine
