Ivanhoe

Ivanhoe

Ivanhoe Ivanhoe

Side by side we’re proud to ride with Ivanhoe
At his call we spring to help him ride along

The song we sing is free and joyous song

Ivanhoe, Ivanhoe
Far and wide throughout the countryside they know

There’s freedom on his banner
Justice in his sword

He rides against the manor
Where tyranny is lord
Rich and poor

Together we go
Forward with Ivanhoe
With I-van-hoe

ho ho ho lady Elaine we must wait for the escort

Oliver can´t you understand i´m anxious to see my father



sir Patrick is a fire sure you

a prisoner of my uncle´s dungeon admittedly but safe

let us continue .
forgive me lady elaine one cannot eat at a gallop

i must say your crooked Elsmere makes the most delicious venison pasties

oh would you care . no thank you very much . i have ordered a great cake for our wedding

you seem very certain that we will be married

i would expect that there´s a loving and dutiful daughter

the least you could do is to save your father´s life

look there´s money for our purses

look out robers

hey look sir

lady elaine you are indeed welcome sir ivanhoe

are you hurt . no well i´´m allright

i was on my way to Ellesmere to see your father sir Patrick how is he



is he well ? who was escorting you why did he run . run?

i did not run i am master Oliver

sir Waldemar´s nephew we are betrothed . this is sir Ivanhoe of Rotherwood

look out there sir

you will forgive our haste sir Ivanhoe .
lady Elaine´s father awaits her at my castle . we are ready my lady

my father is ...
yes sir patrick is my guest

for the ceremony where my nephew Oliver is to be knighted

you´re just the wallabot . knighthood is no jesting matter

if Oliver becomes a knight then the vows of knight would become a jest on a mockery

a knight needs a stomach for more than eating

a coward may not be elevated to knighthood

a coward me ? tush tush . i drove six of the scandals into the forest

your nephew must have

dropped his sword while pursuing the thieves

lady Elaine you were present pray tell us what you saw

but be brief your father awaits you most anxiously

oliver drove off the highwayman .
very well

sir Waldemar i claim my privilege as a knight

to attend the nighting ceremonies

yes and to anouce Oliver for the coward he is he must not be knighted . the privilege is yours

if you can get into my castle alive

why did the lady Elaine lie to shule Oliver

we shall accept sir Waldemors gracious invitation to attend the knighting ceremonies

once within his castle we shall learn why Elaine shields Oliver .
get into the castle the house are you Waldemar

well where´s a wedding there´s sure to be a wedding cake

i´m from the little wiener of master Oliver i´m sure his would be a gigantic wedding cake . wedding cake?

we have to find out who´s baking it then . that´s right

weding cake?

stop here Gurth . whoa . we´re close enough to sir Oliver Castle i get in now

you all right sir . right as rain

so well what do you got here . it´s the wedding cake ordered by master Oliver from Ellesmere

the cake

right carry on

??? Oliver? it be pleasure to follow order . stop . who are you to command us

begging for pardon sir but where see its

its Oliver´s if get ruined . pity to be sure

its Waldemar orders are to thrust into everything before it enters . aim at it men . stop

hold your weapons vandals . but we were only following orders master Oliver

delicious touch one sugary crust to this pastry and you answer to me

right my man take it to the salary and gently with it . yes sir

all right

what courage defending a pastry

ah when young Oliver rides fought to defend the honor of a roast beef he´ll be the most formidable night in England

and that´s why i´m called wiggly . is does it often happen it happens when i get excited

today my ears wiggled my ears in a sack when i heard the news about Ivanhoe

what news ?
they´ve tripled the guard to keep them out of the castle

thought he won´t denounce Oliver . Ivanhoe must be a great knight indeed . ai

they say he fights for truth and justice .
oh he must be a wondrous man

sometimes i dream Ivanhoe will be in danger and that he will call upon me and say...

Wiggly i need your help

who are you ? i´m Ivanhoe .

and though i´m in no great danger at the moment i do need your help

to prevent a coward from becoming a knight

oh you´ll come to the right man i too fight for truth and justice

come see what i´ve done

sir Waldemar cheats the serfs takes more than his proper share .
they say he has no conscience

i take what he has stolen and put it in here we call it the conscience pantry

then those who have been cheated appeal to sir Waldemar´´s conscience

and what has been taken from them is returned

his conscience i like that

anyway now to work you know those castle well

the guard is troubled my lord every post has been searched

Ivanhoe is not within these walls nor will he get in . good

captain you have my permission to give your men an extra bite of supper

Philip take them to the scullery

i can go up these steps along this battlemen .
drop down here and this is lady Ellaine chamber . yes

sorry boy i have hungry men out there

upon my soul oliver´s cake

captain did you know that Oliver has to have this cake at a private wedding supper just for himself and his bride

that cake must weigh over 200 pounds

why there´s no weight to it at all

so old frame and parchment

wondrously decorated hey captain . ai . and genius

scary boy have you been out of the pantry since this came

several times taking things out and pitching them back . yes yes

seizen

well well it´s good where´s your master

it doesn´t matter where he is now .

i know he´ll return and hide in the cake until the ceremony begins

well he´s caught in his own trap

captain we´ll take Ivanhoe and without drawing a single sword

this is my plan

lady Ellaine may i come in . yes . but you must leave castle at once your life is in great danger

i know and i shall leave after i prevented Oliver from being knighted . but you cannot prevent it

Oliver will swear that you let the highwayman who attacked us . he will be charged with banditry in front of the entire assemblage

and i agreed not to contradict him . you agreed

heaven forgive me i did it to save my father´s life

well your father shall be spared and so do you . i cannot see how

sir Waldemar holds my father as prisoner until after the wedding

to make certain he will give his entire estate to Oliver as a wedding present

yes but oliver may not be lord of Elsmere or any domain until he becomes a knight

do not despair lady Elaine he´s not one yet

my sons here in the chapel you must undergo the rights of purification

required before you may take the vows of knighthood

each of you is obliged to search his soul and his heart to determine

whether he is worthy to take those vows

search hard search deeply for 10 hours you will fast

you will partake of neither food nor drink you will be alone with god

may he bless you

Ivanhoe Ivanhoe its Wiggly make no sign you´re being watched

Gurth is a prisoner in a dungeon and they´ve discovered the wedding cake is false

if you hide in the cake sir Waldemar will kill you without conscience

well he won´t wiggle ears i know where his conscience is

tell the bailiff the fish is in the net

10 hours ??? starvation

Oliver . oh . coward leaves a lady alone to face danger

. but glutton who breaks his holy fast . ts ts ts .
what a noble knight you would make master oliver

that is if you ever were knighted

he´s in there now

you know captain men have been known to climb out on the limb of a tree and then saw the limb off

but i know of a knight who actually baked himself into a cake

we have scoured the castle Ivanhoe has vanished

see that the guards

why that full nephew of mine insist on keeping his hood over his head . i´ve suggested a number of times so that he remove it

the assemblage is impatient we must begin

may you use this sword with honor

i thank you fair lord may god hear you

swear to revere your king as if you were your conscience . and your conscience as your king

??? speak ???

help the poor protect the weak and be true to the vows of chivalry

rise sir robert

i get to pantry to some to eat

where is oliver where is my nephew

speak man or i´ll hang you by the thumbs

he was here just now where did he go

he´s gone to the pantry sir

to the pantry why? for something to eat

he said he was hungry sir . hungry?

oliver is hungry he get to pantry to something to eat . to get something to eat he he should be knighted with a chicken leg

here Oliver has made a mockery of the knighthood just as Ivanhoe predicted

it´s Ivanhoe´s fault . did he make Oliver hungry . i´m surrounded by fools and idiots

to the pantry

pantry sir Oliver ??? . ??? to the pantry

they comming sir Ivanhoe they comming

did you hear that Oliver they comming . mercy sir Ivanhoe mercy . wher is he .uncle i

i beg you don´t let him kill me . you do want to tell these people the truth don´t you Oliver

indeed sor Ivanhoe indeed if it´s necessary . that my gluttoness friend depends on your uncle

very well but i shall never forget that caused hundreds to laugh at my kin . at me

if you would not churn scorn for the estate of knighthood they would not be showing scorn for you now

what do you want simple justice

and of course the release of my two friends . Gurth and sir Patrick Vellzmier who are at this moment residing in your dungeon

need i say more
