We have come this christmas time, a purpose to be merry.
WALK ON KING GEORGE!!!
Walk on thou noble heart and let these great folks see thee play thy part
In comes I, King George, from good old England sprung.
My famous name throughout the world hath rung.
In truth, I am a man of courage bold,
and with this sword I won ten crowns of gold!
T'was me who fought the fiery dragon! An' drove him to the slaughter!
And by that means I wooed and won the king of Egypt's daughter!
Let any arrant nave defy King George, so true an' just, a *** blow from my brave sword 'll smite him to the dust!
[galloping sound]
Go to! Boast not so loud, King George, lest thy pride should have a fall!
Behold there stands before you, the bravest warrior of them all!
Who art thou who dares to speak so rashley to King George?!
In comes I, a valliant turkey snipe. From far across the sea's i've come to fight, to fight an' conquer thee, King George the bold!!!
Well thou indeed?!!!
Aye that I will, for I've sworn, King George, to drag you down. Userp thy mighty kingdom an' wear thy golden crown!
Waste no more words, thou bragging turkey snipe! But draw forth thy sword if thou be not a coward! AND FIGHT!!!
[swords clashing together]
[dieing yell]
What hast thou done King George? What hast thou done? Behold, my brother lies a-dieing on the ground. His life is ebbing like the setting sun! What hast thou done King George? WHAT HAST THOU DONE?
Waste no more words thou bragging Turkey Snipe. Yon Turkey snipe was by me vanquished in fair fight! He would have upsurped my kingdom and my crown, if i had not thus braveley struck him down!
Is there not anywhere a doctor to be found, who can staunch my dieing brother's ghastley wounds?
Yes indeed there be a doctor nigh! In comes I, old doctor Brown, the best and cleverest in the town. I carry medicines and pills, strong enough to cure all ill's!
Perhaps they can cure my brother's fearfull pain.
That can I! What's more if he be dead, I'll bring him back to life again!
What fee, doctor, does thou ask, for carrying out thy noble task?
Ten gold guinnies, sir, that be my fee, unless thou art a poor man and I'll rest content with 3. Plus 20% VAT!
Oh no no! Wealthy snipe's from turkeyland we be, and so in full shall I pay thee thy fee. Hold out thy hand!
I thank thee gentle sir. Now to tend thy brother's grevous from which I fear he has allready swooned; or is he dead?
Oh say not so!
I fear he is!
Oh, wo is me!
Take heart, good sir, for I have here, a life restoring; elixir!
Behold to the dead man's lips I place the bottle, and pours its contents down his throttle!
He that was dead now stirs. Thy brother lives i say!
Oh wounderous sight, my brother lives. To fight King George another day!
Neigh neigh, not now. For its a season of good will. Where men of pease should eat and drink their fill. So seath thy sword, put it away! And shake my royal hand.Let laughter echo through the land!
And so say all of us. Let everyone here be of good cheer for christmas comes but once a year! With a derry down derry, let us be merry. Harah for roast beef, hot pudding, and plenty of beer!
Now the good residents know we're here we'll lack for nothing, never fear!
Proper ladies and gentelmen they be to welcome us quite royaly.
Who might that stranger be that comes this way?
In comes I, little Johnny Jack, with my wife and my family on my back. My family's large, but my wife's very small, and poor little johnny's got to feed them all!
So then good masters, give us a treat, a slice of roast beef or mince pie to eat. A mug of old ale, see that its christmas time, will make us all happy. And so ends my rhyme.
So ladies and gentalmen, if you've enjoyed our play, dont send us mummers empty handed! Give us some pennies or buy us some beer, and we wish you a merry christmas and a happy new year!
We wish you a merry christmas, we wish you a merry christmas, we wish you a merry christmas And a happy new year!!!
