Jousting

Medieval times A time of splendour With gallant Knights Ladies so slender Jousting tournaments The ladies all squeal Exploding of hoofs The clash of steel Enter the Black Knight To a round of jeers The Red Knight enters To resounding cheers First pass no foul They try it once more The Knight in Red Slumps to the floor They carry him off And tend to his wounds A Blue Knight appears The ladies all swoon The maidens favourite Known far and wide Lord Richard of Leeds His lance by his side They ready for battle Shields are in place Masks of armour Covering their face Towards each other They gallop full speed Lances held high The snorting of steeds The Black Knight falls The hero wins out Blue Knight celebrates Victory in the joust Approaching the King Horse and rider bow The people go wild Allegiance they vow Medieval times Hail to the King Jousting tournaments What glory they bring
