- (continued from previous page)(Room Room)Room Room my gallant boys
Give me room to rhyme
I'll show you some activity
About this Christmas time
Act the young and Act the old
The like of me was never seen
On the stage before.
If you don't believe what I say
Enter Prince George and he'll soon clear the way
(Prince George now enters carrying a sword)
(Prince George)Yes, Yes! Here comes I, Prince George
I come all the way from Spain
I fed my horse on oats and hay
And then he ran away.(Room Room) You are a liar, sir(Prince George) Take out your sword and try it, sir
(Room Room)I'll drive my sword through your heart and then you'll die away, sir
(They fight with their swords for a while - Room Room sees an opening, runs Prince George through and the Prince falls to the ground. Room Room runs about the kitchen)
(Room Room)Five Pounds for a doctor
Ten pounds for a doctor
No doctor can be found(continues on next page)
