Old King Cole is a merry old soul.

Yes, he is. It's plain to see. He called for his pipe. He called for his bowl.

And he always called for his fiddlers three.

Oh, Old King Cole, you're a merry old soul.

Without a care and fancy free. Please call for your pipe. Please call for your

bowl. And here are your fiddlers three. That's sweet.

Ha, ha, ha, ha.

It was good, my lads. It was very good.

And now for our daily laugh.

There's nothing so good for the soul as a hearty laugh.

Everybody laugh!

Sweethearts have threatened to give us the gate unless we marry them soon. We

beg your permission.

Permission granted.

But not until after Princess Alicia has wed Prince Gallant III of Rotodendron.

But sire, when will that be?

When the flowers bloom in the spring. Tra -la!

My soldier's clothes.

Father, I beg leave.

Granted.

Come, my fiddlers, give us a song.

Jack and Jill went up a hill. Jack Spratt could eat no fat. Jack, Jack,

Jack. Jack be nimble, Jack be quick. Jack jump over the candlestick. Jack

over the candlestick. Jump!

Oh! Oh!

Oh! Oh! Oh!

Excellent!

That was excellent!

Little Miss Muppet sat on a tuffet eating her curds and whey. Along came a

spider and sat down beside her and frightened Miss Muppet away.

Mrs. Alicia has been abducted by some names I did not recognize.

Call out the guards.

Telephone the newspapers.

Notify the FBI.

The FBI?

Yes. Flanagan, Brannigan, and Escovitch.

Detectives.

Woe is me.

Oh.

Shepard. Larius.

Spring is just around the corner. We must get the princess back or we cannot

wed. Quite so. Quite, quite.

Your Majesty, publicity of the abduction would keep the tourists away from cold

Slovenia. Let us, your fiddlers three, rescue the fair princess.

Your brave men, my fiddlers, rescue the fair princess, and I shall reward you.

Thank you, sire.

To horse, to horse. We will scour the countryside.

Wait, our steed is not shod. Sue has not a shoe. Then we will shoe Sue. For if

Sue has no shoe, a shoeing Sue we must do.

Shoe, shoe, shoe, shoe, shoe, shoe, shoe, shoe.

Shepard, get your own bellows and keep the forge red hot. We'll shoe -sue

Pump your own bellows, violet. Pump!

See it?

Give it to me.

Thou art a lame brain.

Stop with this nonsense.

Had thou forgotten the princess?

Or buttoneth up thy lips.

Strange. There was water just a second ago.

Make us haste and get some hot horseshoes from yon forge.

Time marcheth on.

Take this hammer and beat the shoe.

Nay, I have not the heart to beat an innocent shoe.

Thou art a dumb cluck.

Bring it to Sue forward. Lariat, you help with him.

That's it, Suey girl.

That's it.

Shepard, lift the mule's foot and pass it to me.

Okay.

Susie, lift your leg now.

Come on, Susie, lift your leg.

Don't be stubborn. Come on, Susie.

Lift your leg, Susie.

has made me shoe the wrong mule.

Go still.

Go still now.

I think you did that on purpose.

Quiet. See that?

Yes.

Let the man show you how to shoe, Sue.

I will fix thee, wise guy.

This hammer will hold thy tail down.

Yes, sir, smarty cat.

Now, giveth me thy foot. Giveth me.

Where would I be?

Let's get out of here. Let's find out.

Quiet, lads. Quiet.

We must listen for the signal bell.

Then we will push the princess up the ladder into the magician's box.

So they've got the princess. We've got to do something.

Yeah, but they're heavy.

Let me at him. I'll tear him limb for limb. Let me at him. Well, what's

you? Me?

Go on.

Thank you.

Then it is agreed, Your Majesty, that if I recover the Princess Alicia through

my magic, I may have a hand in marriage?

Yes, yes.

Just bring back my daughter unharmed.

Your Majesty will observe that the box is quite...

The three magic words.

Abracadabra.

Abracadabra.

Abracadabra. Now then, Your Majesty.

Now, Your Majesty, watch Yon Box closely.

And I will perform my magic. I will take Yotni and saw her in half. And in her

stead will appear the princess, completely unharmed.

Observe.

A terrific headache.

Listen,

we've got to use strategy.

We've got to use strategy.

Who's asking you?

Listen,

this is what we've got to do.

My daughter, my daughter bringeth her forth.

Patience, sire, patience.

I now take these swords, for my magic is the greatest, and I plunge it in the

box.

Oh, no blood. No blood.

Father.

Daughter.

I think I sprung
