Lyrics[]
Chorus:
In days of old, when knights were bold
And nightshirts held their sway
A jolly minstrel strummed his lute
And sang this merry lay
Mickey:
I am a wandering minstrel,
I journey from afar
My worldly goods are a sleepy old mule,
A song, and a busted guitar, ha ha!
Citizens:
A toast we'll sing onto our king
To his good health we'll sing
A toast we'll sing onto our king
Long live the king!
King:
O hear ye, loyal subjects
Of my kingdom of Lalapazoo
Citizens:
Of our kingdom of Lalapazoo
King:
Upon this day, my daughter weds
The Prince of Pupupadoo
Citizens:
The Prince of Pupupadoo
King:
At my command,
You'll give thy hand
In wedlock to yon prince
Mickey:
Cheer up, oh, lovely princess,
For you'll be rescued soon
I'll take thee away,
So ye won't have to stay
And marry that silly baboon
Citizens:
We're gonna have a duel,
We're gonna have a duel
We're gonna have a duel,
We're gonna have a duel
Whichever one survives the slaughter
Wins the hand of my fair daughter
We're gonna have a duel,
We're gonna have a duel
We're gonna have a duel,
We're gonna have a duel
Whichever one survives the slaughter
Wins the hand of my fair daughter
We're gonna have a duel,
We're gonna have a duel
We're gonna have a duel,
We're gonna have a duel
Whichever one survives the slaughter
Wins the hand of my fair daughter
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
Da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da
Chorus:
In days of old, when knights were bold
And romance had its fling
Hooray, the royal bride and groom
Long live the king!
