Old Father Beelzebub playing for the Mummers
|
A room a room I do presume ... |
Welcome or welcome not ... |
|
|
Hoping Old Father Christmas, will never be forgot ... |
Activity of youth ... |
Activity of age ... |
|
|
I am King Alfred ... |
I am a bold French Officer, Beau Slasher is my name ... |
.... who, as usual, complains about the activities of the Roast Beefs |
|
|
Beau Slasher challenges King Alfred to battle ...
|
... who feigns ... |
... then slays King Alfred with a head butt to the chest. |
|
|
Who can help him? |
Here is £10 to any man who can help .... |
.... which enlists the help of Dr Squires (Good). |
|
|
What's this? |
Ah! The good Dr. suspects ... |
.... Polonium 210 has been used. |
|
|
But, with this tablet from his drugs bottle, brings our Bold King back to life. |
It is now Beau Slasher's turn to be ... |
.... slain in the next battle with Bold King Alfred, but he is beyond the help of the Noble Dr. |
|
|
In comes Jack Vinney, who with one penneth of pidgeons milk, together with .... |
... the blood of a dying donkey ... alas, fails to raise Beau Slasher. |
Gis I my spectacles ... |
|
|
... and, with the help of the rest of the players, ... |
.. Jack restores Beau Slasher to life. |
In comes Happy Jack ... collecting funds for charity! |

Old Father Beelzebub completes the performance with a speech on current affairs of the year.
