The Sword in the Stone
Songtexte englisch

The legend of the sword in the stone (Sherman / Sherman)

A legend is sung of when England was young
and knights were brave and bold
the good king had died and no one could decide
who was rightful heir to the throne

It seemed that the land would be torn by a war
or saved by a miracle alone
and that miracle appeared in London town
the sword in the stone

Higitus figitus (Sherman / Sherman)

Higitus figitus zumbabazing
I want your attention ev'rything
we're packing to leave, come on let's go
no no, not you, books are always the first you know

Hockety pockety wockety wack
abra cabra dabra nack
shrink in size very small
we've got to save enough room for all
higitus figitus migitus mum
pres-ti-dig-i-ton-i-um

(spoken:) Cicero you belong to the "c's"
alphabethical order please

Ali-i-ca-fez bal-a-ca-zez
malacamez meripides, no stop, stop, stop

see here sugar bowl, you're getting rough
that tea-set is cracked enough

(spoken:) Diminish diminish dictionary
those words in your vocabulary

Hockety pockety wockety wack
odds and ends and brick and brack
be with you in just a minute son
packing is almost done

Dum, dodaly, dodaly, dodaly dum
this is the best part now

Higitus figitus migitus mum
pres-ti-dig-i-ton-i-um
higitus figitus migitus mum
pres-ti-dig-i-ton-i-um

That's was makes the world go round (Sherman / Sherman)

Left and right like day and night
that's what makes the world go round
in and out, thin and stout
that's what makes the world go round

For every up there is a down
for every square there is a round
for every high there is a low
for every to there is a fro

To and fro, stop and go
that's what makes the world go round

in and out, thin and strout ....

... You must set your sights upon the heights
don't be a mediocrity
don't just wait and trust to fate
and say, that's how it's meant to be

It's up to you how far you go
if you don't try you'll never know
and so my lad as I've explained
nothing ventured, nothing gained

For every to there is a fro
for every stop there is a go
and that’s what makes the world go round

You see my boy it's nature's way
upon the weak the strong ones prey
the human life it's also true
the strong will try to conquer you

That is what you must expect
unless you use your intellect
brains and brawn, weak and strong
that's what makes the world go round

A most befuddling thing (Sherman / Sherman)

It's a state of being, a frame of mind
it's a most befuddling thing
and to every being of every kind
it is discombooberating

You're wasting time resisting
you'll find the more you do
the more she'll keep insisting
her him has got to be you

It's a rough game anyone knows
there are no rules, anything goes
there's no logical explanation
for this discombooberation
it's a most bemuddling, most befuddling thing

There's no sensible explanation
for this discombooberation
it's a most hodge-podgical, most illogical
most confusiling, most bamboozing
most bemuddling, most befuddling thing

Mad Madam Mim (Sherman / Sherman)

With only a touch I have the power
zim-zaba-rim-bim, to wither a flower
I find delight in the gruesome and grim
cause I'm the magnificent, marvelous, mad Madam Mim

I can be huge, fill a whole house
I can be tiny, small as a mouse
black sorcery is my dish of tea
it comes easy to me

cause I'm the magnificent, marvelous, mad Madam Mim

I can be beautiful, lovely and fair
silvery voice, long purple hair
la la la la la, la la la la la
la la la la la
but it's only skin deep for zim zaberim zim
I'm an ugly old creep
magnificent, marvelous, mad, mad, mad, mad Madam Mim

Blue oak tree (Sherman / Sherman)
(only to hear in fragments in the movie)

To the blue oak tree on the field of white
we pledge our loyalty forever
the white stands for right purity and might
the blue stands for truth yea verily, forsooth

So we drink a toast to the banner we love most
may it proudly wave on high
we will sing all day and all night we will fight
for the blue oak tree on a field of white
for the blue oak tree on a field of white

Finale (Sherman / Sherman)

Hail, King Arthur
long live the King
