{Mumies.}
[Introducer]
In comes I that's never been before
Six merry actors stand at your door.
They can merrily dance and sing
And by your leaf they shall walk in.
Walk in John Fenn.
[John Fenn]
My name is not John Fenn. My name is Mr Fenn.
I fought three battles,
one at home and two abroad
and I killed the king.
{In comes Molly; she says}
[Molly]
you have not killed the king,
for I am the mother of the king.
The king is still alive
and Old balled Turk shall have his own way
and the king shall not be destroyed.
[Turkish Snipe]
In comes I the Turkish Snipe.
I came from Turkey for to fight.
If any one think woll to fight,
Draw his sword and try his might.
{They fight.}
I speared him through the heart and thigh.
Oh I wonder if there is a doctor to be found,
to cure this poor bleeding boy that lays upon the ground.
{In comes the doctor.}
[Doctor]
Of course there is a doctor to be found
to cure this lad upon the ground.
[Unidentified Interrogator]
What will you cure him for ?
[Doctor]
£50.
[Unidentified Interrogator]
Set to work.
What has he the matter ?
[Doctor]
He is got the hip, the pip, the palsy and the gout
The pain within and the pain without.
{Then he gives him some medicine and pills, and the lad rises up.}
[Musician]
In comes I that's never been yet,
My head so big my wits so small
I'll play you a tune to please you all.
My father killed a great fat hog and that you plainly see
for I have got the bladder tied on my heardy girdy.
[Father Christmas]
In comes poor old Father Christmas, I have not long to stay
I hope you will remember me before I go away
welcome now welcome not
welcome poor old Father Christmas shall never be forgot.
{Then they sing songs.}
