Narrator’s Cue:

So young friends of this fair city
Can you help, and on us take pity?

Child 1: To Merlin the dragon does belong

Child 2: And to summon the wizard we must sing our song

Child 3: But you must all join in at the end

Child 4: You must believe – and not just pretend

 

Cumwhinton’s chant comes first, then St Bedes

 

 

 

St Bedes chant with drum pattern

Townsfolk puppet – Jolly tune!
