Have You Got Any Castles
[clock strikes 12]
Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye.
Tonight the muses sing, and we harken to Pan
as with sweetly piping lute
he wends us through a delightful phantasmagoria
with the deathless heroes of legend and history
and the entrancing figures of fiction and fantasy.
And, first among our illustrious hosts
we want you to meet...
[roaring]
[applause]
Now I lay me down to sleep...
... bless Papa Leon and Uncle Ray.
