THE BREMEN TOWN MUSICIANS
(musical fantasy based on the Brothers Grimm tale)
In this world there nothing can be better
Than for friends to roam the world together
There's no hardship that good friends need fear -
Any road at all for us is dear!
We will not forget our one true path -
To bring people joy and make them laugh!
Rich palatial domes' enticing space
Never will our freedom sweet replace,
Never will our freedom sweet replace!
Let our carpet be a glade of flowers,
Let our walls be pines as tall as towers.
Let our roof be the blue sky up there.
Let our joy be that this fate we share!
Little bird in a pen -
In its 'home' it is trapped.
I am just like it then:
In this 'keep' I am 'kept'.
Sun lights up all around -
As for me, dark I stay.
Without princess I'm bound
to not live one more day.
Oh, pray tell, what is this?
What has happened to me?
Shot to 'pieces' my 'peace',
In these chambers kingly.
"Baddies" is what people call us -
Never did one noble thing!
Here, I'll make a pack of old cards
Tell the future of the king.
Pang-bang-ding Pang-bang-ding
...tell the future of the king!
The cards say the king will travel
To a strange and far-off land.
We love gold and silver madly,
And the king's a wealthy man!
Oh-la-la, oh-la-la!
And the king's a wealthy man!
Royal card will soon be beat
Same will happen to his guards
Job is easy, spoils are sweet
I see truth in all these cards!
Pang-bang-ding Pang-bang-ding
Morning comes, we'll rob the king.
Pang-bang-ding Pang-bang-ding
Morning comes, we'll rob the king!
Cock-a-doodle-doo!
Meow!
Hee-Haw! Hee-Haw!
Bark-bark!
We're honored...
...and are kept in high regard!
- In high regard!
The king can't...
...make a move without his guard!
The planet shakes beneath our marching feet.
We're always near and never miss a beat!
At sunrise...
...must each guard's son rise!
If a sparrow's flying by...
...get your cannon ready!
If you see a little fly...
...keep your rifle steady!
King's travel plans
are strictly classified!
They're classified!
Yes, classified!
And we are always
marching by his side!
We're designated to protect the king...
...from anything that fate is sure to bring!
At sunrise...
...must each guard's son rise!
If a sparrow's flying by...
...get your cannon ready!
If you see a little fly...
...keep your rifle steady!
As is well-known, we're a hot-tempered folk...
We can't stand tenderness, and that's no joke!
But tender lambs we do love to ambush,
Love to beat them up, Love to beat them up
...and beat 'round the bush!
One-two and yikes – the guns are drawn!
We're villains, robbers, bandit spawn!
Bang-bang and you'll be gone!
You will be dead, you will be gone, be gone...
Bang-bang and you'll be gone!
You will be dead, you will be gone, be gone...
When people see us, sure enough, they yell!
"The smoking gun" for some has an unpleasant smell!
There's something hidden in our pockets, too...
Don't come close to us! Don't come close to us!
Don't come close to us!!!!!
Or we'll stab you!
One-two and yikes - the guns are drawn!
We're villains, robbers, bandit spawn!
Bang-bang and you'll be gone
You will be dead, you will be gone, be gone...
Bang-bang and you'll be gone
You will be dead, you will be gone, be gone...
Oh, where has this lonely path taken me, where?
My life is not precious without princess fair.
If only the glorious king would impart...
...the secret password to the princess's heart!
For I am afraid of no one and no thing!
There isn't a deed I won't do for the king!
For I am afraid of no one and no thing!
I'd do some brave deed any time...
...for the king!
Cock-a-doodle-doo!
Cock-a-d...
In this world there nothing can be better
Than for friends to roam the world together
There's no hardship that good friends need fear -
Any road at all for us is dear.
Any road at all for us is dear...
We will not forget our one true path -
To bring people joy and make them laugh!
Rich palatial domes' enticing space
Never will our freedom sweet replace,
Never will our freedom sweet replace!
