But the Boy Could Be King

from King Arthur ~ The Magic of Merlin by R. Garth

/

about

Men try to pull the sword from the stone.
Arthur gets a chance and pushes it in 'to the hilt'. The stone breaks and Arthur becomes king.

lyrics

Gruff Knight #1: Out of my way, let me give it a try a-gain!

Gruff Knight #2: You’ve had your turn! It’s the end of the line for you!

Gruff Knight #3: Look here’s a boy. Bet he’s even more strength than you!

Gruff Knight #4: Give him a go! You can’t budge the damn thing, you fool!

Gruff Knight #1: …But the boy could be king!

Gruff Knight #2: Don’t be afraid of a boy, you big girly man!

Gruff Knight #3: Why not your wife there holding the frying pan!

Gruff Knight #4: You’re serving her anyway!

Gruff Knight #1: Yes, I know I am!

Gruff Knight #2: What could he do after you’ve given all you can?

Gruff Knight #1: …But the boy could be king!

Young Arthur: I only want what is fair… Give me a try if you dare!

Merlin: Hey! To the hilt! To the hilt!

The Crowd: To the hilt! To the hilt! To the hilt!
To the hilt! To the hilt!

Gruff Knight #4: A boy now is king!

All Knights: The boy now is king!

The Crowd: The boy is our king! The boy is our king!

Arthur: Me?
