I be but a poor old Ferryman. Beware the sorceror's apprentice, Sire
One of his spells went awry, poor boy
You be a stranger here, Sire. I can tell by your strange attire!
If you want to travel on my ferry it'll cost you a mark, Sire
I'm sorry, Sire, I've a living to make
A mark and the other side you will get,/Credit hasn't been invented yet
Good heavens, a gold sovereign! You be a man of property now, Sire
I be but a poor ferryman - I haven't got change for that
I be a man of honour, Sire. I cannot accept so much money
For a mere ferry journey 'Tis more than my job's worth
Ugh! 'tis a sheep's eye. Leave me be, Warlock!
That's more like it, Sire
You have crossed my palm with lead./You may now cross the river
Here be the sorceror's caves, Sire. I will lend thee a hand
These be magic caves, Sire. Use the hand
The hand will help those in the right
That hand, 'tis for you, sire.

Aargh! the curse! the curse!/Your mother sucks frogs in Hell!
By stone of hell and eye of sheep. This curse of demons I must keep
Go boil your nethers, Hellspawn! Avaunt, and out of my sight!
You thieving wretch! That's MY gold!
Afore I smite thee, Hellspawn, take this lead mark and BEGONE!

Sire, I thank you for my exorcism. Please, accept this gold sovereign
Have mercy, Sire, put that away! The evil eye can curse me still
No, no, Sire. That was MY gift to you

Ah, I have been expecting thee I am Merlin, Wizard of Wizards
Wanna see a card trick?
Fair enough, I know thy quest/I see the future and thy test
In my future but thy past/Lies thy future at long last
I'm sorry, I'm a wizard all the time/I talk in riddles and in rhyme
Don't get thy hose all in a twist/Take this amulet, I insist
Use this globe with utmost care/'tis precious and I have no spare
In the mists of time thou must find/One who is wise, one who is kind
Another who is strong and fit to rule/The last, an artist, of Italian school
Give the globe to all of these/It doth collect the good it sees
In thy time dwells a metal soul/Not yet mindful, not yet whole
Fill that soul with the amulet/And hope to save all mankind yet
When bad soul meets with good/All will end up as it should
Now I have said as much as I am able/Arthur calls me to the Round Table
Go now, leave me, and be quick!/I must prepare my party trick
You heard me, sonny, hop it!/Mankind's in danger, you must stop it!
Do not waste my time with tricks,/for the clock it onward ticks
Aha! You've seen my demon caper,/be careful or you'll turn to vapour
