i challenge you to mortal flipping
combat

[Music]
oh
[Music]
[Music]
ah marvelous very clever now get out of
them cocoa tins and do a bit of work
[Music]
ah
[Music]
but now these main events of the day is
the grand nightly tournament from our
own village the blackfoot jack garrett
meets the brothers harry townshend known
as mad jack and there are many more
besides so come on lads if you fancy
your chances
[Applause]
that's the blacksmith
[Music]
yeah and there's mad harry
ross
striker yeah
in there get changed
warriors and most brutal men of battle
are here today purely for the joy of
proving
take this fine sport is for men over the
engines their amazings are asked not to
pay me because the ambulance men are
just too busy
but you can get her and let you know
what you're doing
[Applause]
popularity then was only revived by our
antique henry behavior and you know what
a funny sense of humor he has
in days gone by smithfield was the
wembley of jousting and the present beat
market is just about as bloody
but now the turn of two novice knights
who've not been seen in the list before
your favor and your further please for
ron striker and steve roberts i'm told
that their battle is a matter of
confidential honor between them come on
youtube
there's a young maiden here who is their
queen of love and beauty alone and paley
loitering at the ringside with her heart
beating faster than ever before
the signals about to be given for these
young knights to do battle for the first
time in the list
down goes advisor and the signals about
to begin
i wonder what they're feeling now as
they get ready for the charge
off they go now the first time they've
ever fought in the list yeah
oh it's a little bit there because
they've missed in fact they've written
on the far end of the list and in fact
that should be really called a draw but
it looks as though they're not done yet
they're turning around for another
charge
both these men are expert horsemen so
they've no problems in that particular
direction
[Applause]
[Music]
is
this really is not in the rulebook
medieval or otherwise
using their lashes as stays now
an ancient form of fighting which is by
faith wasn't supposed to take place here
this afternoon
on striker seems to know what it's all
about beautiful parry there
it's quite nonsense about the whole
thing quickly really wants to get it yet
he does getting at his opponent now
rushing him
must be pretty difficult in all his
armor
is
[Music]
to be about but it hasn't happened here
if you two don't behave yourself i
shan't ask you to dora's real birthday
surprise who would have thought such
novice knights would give such a
splendid display it all goes to show
that there must be something or someone
very special at stake
[Applause]
thank you thank you
oh you are a cunning old villain in you
you have us all week building is
stable yeah turns out to be a raft and
you get all the credit yeah
it should be son age before ignorance
makes no difference
as long as there's a cake it's a proper
birthday
in that right wrong
yeah
mind you it's also a proper birthday
[Music]
when is
[Music]
