A knock at the door, and the Black Sheep comes in:
I open the door, I enter in,
I beg your pardon before I begin
Get up aad wife and strike a light
(The old woman is supposed to be in bed.)
For in this house there'll be a fight
If you don't believe the words I say
Step in King George, and clear the way.

Enter King George and the lackey.
King George:

King George is my name, sword and pistol by my side, I hope to
win the game.

Black Sheep:
You sir?

King George:
I sir.

Black Sheep:
Take this sword and die sir.

There is a fight and the Black Sheep is killed
King George:
Oh dear, oh dear, look what I've done
I've killed me father's only son
Send for the five pound doctor

Lackey:
There is no five pound doctor.

King George:
Send for the ten pound doctor.

Enter Doctor Brown
Dr. Brown:
Here comes in old Doctor Brown,
The best old doctor in the town.

King George:
Who the devil made you the best old doctor in the town.

Dr. Brown:
By my travels.

King George:
What is your travels?

Dr. Brown:
England, Scotland, France and Spain,
I've come to cure that man that's slain.

King George:
What the devil can you cure?

Dr. Brown:
A dead man.

King George:
Cure him.

Dr. Brown:

I've got a little bottle in my inside pocket called hokey pokey,
take a dose and rise again.

Black Sheep
sings:
Once I was dead but now I'm a-live,
God bless the doctor that made me a-live.
A pocketfull of money and a cellar full of beer
I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Enter Benjy Bob:
Here comes in aad Benjy Bob.
On me shoulder I carry me clog
In me hand a dripping pan
I think myself a jolly old man
A jolly old man I seem to be
I've got two brothers as big as me.
One is old and one is fat
Please put a penny in the old black hat
If you haven't got a penny a ha'penny will do
If you haven't got a ha'penny God bless you.
