The zerg infestation still covered much of our beloved world... The desiccated remains of the Overmind were still there - a grim reminder of battles lost... and battles won. 私は惑星アイユールにある廃墟と化した我らが故郷に舞い戻った。ザーグの汚染は未だ愛する我が惑星を覆いつくしていた... オーバーマインドの亡骸は以前として残されており―その凄惨たる光景はかつての戦いの数々を... 敗北と勝利の味わいを思い出させる。 ミッション開始シーン Raynor I remember the fall of Aiur. Don t much like the idea of havin to see it all again. Guess there s nothin for it. 惑星アイユールが陥落した時のことを忘れはしまい。またこの目で見ねばならんとは気が重い事だ。だが仕方あるまい。 Zeratul At the very apex of its victory against us, the zerg Overmind grew... overconfident. 我らへの勝利を確信し、ザーグのオーバーマインドは...自信過剰に陥った。 Zeratul Now, all that left of the mighty Overmind was a twisted, withered husk. その結果、かつては強大であったオーバーマインドの亡骸は触手と共にねじれ絡み、腐敗した状態で放置されている。 Zeratul I needed to understand whatever memories lingered within the creature s rotting mass. たとえ腐敗した肉塊に残留した思念であったとしても、私はそれを読み取る必要があった。 Zeratul Only by making contact with the gargantuan tendrils connected directly to its cortex could I learn its secrets. あの脳皮質と直接つながった巨大な触手に触れる事ができれば、何を思っていたのか感じ取ることが出来るであろう。 Zeratul Yet its countless minions, whitch seemed to be feeding from its dead husk, would prove somewhat... problematic. だが無数の蛆虫どもが主の腐肉を糧として沸いており... 厄介な障害となりそうであった。 ミッション中 Zeratul I must find a way to establish a foothold and summon reinforcements to keep the zerg at bay! 何とかして拠点を築き、ザーグを寄せつけないようにするために援軍を呼び出さなければならぬ！ ＜オブザーバー発見＞ Zeratul Ah, this faithful Observer has kept watch since the evacuation. Its abilities will certainly prove useful now. おぉ、この忠実なオブザーバーは我らが避難した時からずっと監視を続けていたようだ。この者の能力は間違いなく役立つだろう。 Tutorial- Scout flyer - Observers are the Protoss eye in the sky. They are Permanently Cloaked so they can spy on enemy forces with impunity. They have advanced sensors that allow them to act as Detectors and uncover Cloaked and Burrowed units. Observers have no attack, and they rely on stealth for their protection. You can warp in more Observers at the Robotics Facility. 偵察用飛行ユニット - Observerはプロトスにとっての空からの監視役です。彼らはPermanent Cloakingの能力を持ち、安全に敵の動向を探ることができます。同時にDetect能力も持ち、その高性能センサーのおかげでCloakedなユニット及びBurrowedなユニットを探知することができます。Observerは攻撃能力は持っていないため、ステルス能力のみで身を守ります。ObserverはRobotics Facilityで呼び出します。 ＜ネクサスにゼラトゥルが近づく＞ Zeratul Some of these abandoned structures remain functional... we shall make use of them. ここらの打ち捨てられた建造物はまだ生きているな...これらを利用するとしよう。 ＜ゼラトゥル、ビーコンに到達＞ Zeratul This ancient beacon still thrums with power. I wonder... この古代のビーコンはまだ生きているな。一体何のための... ＜水の中かからコロッサス出現＞ Zeratul Ah! I ve heard tales of the mighty colossi sealed away beneath Aiur! The becon must have awoken these fearsome guardians! おお、伝承では強大なコロッサスはアイユールの地下に封印されたと聞いていたが！このビーコンがこの恐るべき守護者を呼び起こしたに違いない。 Zeratul The zerg perceive a threat to their dead master! ザーグどもめ、死せる主の脅威となるものに気付きおったな！ Tutorial-Clossus Megastrider -- The Colossus is an autonomous robot death machine designed by the Protoss long ago. Colossi are so tall that they can walk up and down cliffs, but they are also vulnerable to attacks from air-to-air units. They do great damage to groups of ground units but cannot target air units. The Colossus is warped in at the Robotics Facility. 巨大歩行メカ -- コロッサスは自律型破壊専用ロボットで、はるか昔にプロトスによって設計されました。コロッサスはとても背が高く、崖を上り下りすることができますが、同時に空対空ユニットからも攻撃を受けます。地上ユニットの部隊には大きな威力を発揮しますが、空中ユニットは攻撃することができません。コロッサスはロボティクス・ファシリティで呼び出します。 Zeratul The zerg will keep coming until we are dead. I must find the Overmind s cortex and discover what I can from it. ザーグが我らを皆殺しにするまで攻撃を止めないぞ。オーバーマインドの皮質を見つけ出し、そこにあるものを見つけ出さねばならん。 Zeratul If we use Observers wisely, we can scout the area before putting ourselves at risk. オブザーバーを有効に使えば、こちらの犠牲無しにエリアを偵察可能だ。 ＜ザーグ襲来＞ Zeratul We must be prepared to defend our base. The zerg are on the move. 基地への襲撃に備えよ。ザーグ共が動き始めたぞ。 ＜ザーグ襲来＞ Zeratul The zerg seek to overwhelm us! To arms, my brethren! ザーグは我らを圧倒する気だ！戦え、同胞たちよ！ ＜ワープゲート発見＞ Zeratul These warp gates apper to be functinal. Perhaps there s a chance... ここらのワープゲートはまだ生きているようにみえるぞ。恐らく何とかなるはずだ... ＜ワープゲート、エナジー供給＞ High Templar Adun Toridas, Zeratul! We were trapped within the gate s energy matrix when it was deactivated! You have our thanks! アドゥンの加護あれ、ゼラトゥル！我らはゲートが停止した際にゲートのエナジーマトリックスに捕まっていた！感謝するぞ！ Tutorial-Warp Gate Upgrading a Gateway to a Warp Gate allows the Protoss to warp in units directly to any Pylon power field insted of having them appear at the Gateway. Protoss units will also warp in faster through a Warp Gate. ゲートウェイをワープゲートにアップグレードすることで、プロトスのユニットをパイロンのパワーフィールド上ならどこへでも出現させることができます。またワープゲートを通した方がより早く呼び出せます。 ＜１つ目触手到達＞ Zeratul The first Overmind tendril! 最初のオーバーマインドの触手だ！ Zeratul I sense... pain. Surprise. Death. 感じるぞ...苦痛、驚愕、死。 ＜ザーグ襲来＞ Zeratul The zerg seek to overwhelm our base! ザーグが基地を飲み込もうとしてるぞ！ ＜ザーグ襲来＞ Zeratul The zerg are coming! ザーグの襲撃だ！ ＜ザーグ襲来＞ Zeratul Our base falls under a shadow -- the zerg will attack soon. 基地が闇の下に落ちようとしている -- ザーグは直ぐに攻撃を仕掛けるであろう。 ＜２つ目触手到達＞ Zeratul The second Overmind tendril. I sense... death... and joy? ２つ目のオーバーマインドの触手だ。感じる... 死 ...それに...歓喜だと？ ＜ザーグ襲来＞ Zeratul The zerg are massing near our base! ザーグが基地の近くで集結しているぞ！ ＜３つ目触手到達＞ Zeratul The third Overmind tendril. I sense... satisfaction... in a plan set in motion long ago... and... fear of the future? ３つ目のオーバーマインドの触手だ。感じる... 満足... 古き時代より始まった計画... それに... 未来への恐怖とは一体？ ＜４つ目触手到達＞ Zeratul The fourth Overmind tendril. I sense... an end. I must go to the Overmind Cortex to understand. ４つ目のオーバーマインドの触手だ。感じるぞ... 終焉。理解するにはオーバーマインドの脳皮質に辿り着かねば。 ＜タッサダール出現＞ Tassadar Greetings, brother. I speak to you... from the Beyond. 久しいな、兄弟。私だよ... 彼方より話しかけている。 Zeratul Tassadar! But... you died... slaying this cursed Overmind! タッサダール！しかし... 貴方は亡くなったはず... この忌々しいオーバーマインドを滅ぼして！ Tassadar I have never tasted death, Zeratul - nor shall I. But that is a tale for another time. I have come to tell you of this creature s... courage. 我が死を感じた事は一度として無いぞ、ゼラトゥル、そして今後もないだろう。しかしその話はまたの機会としよう。我はそなたに伝えに来たのだ...この化け物の勇猛さをな。 Zeratul Courage? It was an abomination! 勇猛？馬鹿げている！ Tassadar Not always. The zerg were... altered. A single over-riding purpose was forced upon them the destruction of our people. そうでない事もあるのだ。ザーグは...変容させられたのだ。彼らは上書きされたただ一つの命令に強制された。我々を滅亡させよとな。 Tassadar The Overmind was formed with thought and reason... but not free will. It screamed and raged within the prison of its own mind. オーバーマインドは思考能力と理性を備えて生まれた... だが自由なる意思はなかったのだ。彼は魂の牢獄に囚われ、怒り咽び泣いていた。 Zeratul Who did this? Why? 誰がそんな事を？何の為に？ Tassadar I know not. But the Overmind found a way to regist its all-consuming directive. It created a chance... a hope of salvation. それは分からぬ。しかしオーバーマインドは一つだけその命令に抵抗する手段があることに気づいたのだ。彼は生み出したのだ...救いの望みを。 Tassadar The Queen of Blades. それが刃の女王だ。 Zeratul Madness! {ありえん！」 Tassadar Only she can free the zerg from slavery - and in so doing, save all that is... from the flame. 彼女こそがザーグを魂の牢獄から解放し、そして全ての...災厄からも守ってくれるのだ。(混成体の話と思われる) Zeratul I do not understand, brother. そんなことは理解したくないぞ、兄弟。 Tassadar Forget what you know, Zeratul. The Overmind saw a vision... the end of all things. And now you must see it too. 己の想いなぞ忘れよ、ゼラトゥル。オーバーマインドは予見したのだ... 全ての終末たる結末を。そして今、そなたも同じ予見をしなければならぬ。 （別案）己の想いなぞ忘れよ、ゼラトゥル。オーバーマインドは見たのだ... 全ての終末たる未来を。そして今、そなたもそれを見なければならぬ。 Zeratul No! This vision! I cannot bear it, stop! 断る！そんな予見など！そんな事を考えたくはない、止めてくれ！ （別案）断る！そんな未来など！そんな事は耐えられぬ、止めてくれ！ ミッション達成後 HYPERION CANTINA 23 02 - Shipboard Time ハイペリオン酒場 23 02 - 船内時間 ▼Armory ▽Swann Swann Y know, I been watchin the logs. Those damn protoss are still way ahead of us. I can t believe some of the stunts they can pull off. 記録を見返してたんだがよ。プロトスの奴らにはまだまだ追い付けねぇな。あいつらがやってのけた離れわざ、俺はまだ信じられねぇ。 Raynor Tell me about it! They ve learned some new tricks since the last time we fought. 言われなくても知ってるさ！前戦った時からこっち、奴らも進歩してるからなぁ。 Swann I mean c mon, since when could they warp in guys just anywhere? I thought they needed some kinda gateway at least! いやさ、何時からどこにでもユニットを呼び出せるようになったんだ？少なくともゲートウェイか何かが必要だと思ってたよ！ Raynor Not just anywhere, they need a pylon or another power source close by. Still, they ve been working to improve their tech just like us. どこでもって訳じゃない、Pylonとかの動力源が要る。まぁあいつらも俺達と同じで、技術開発に力を注いできてたって事だ。 ▼Bridge ▽Horner Raynor Damn, Matt. I don t even know what to make of this last vision from the crystal. クソッ、マット。さっきクリスタルで見たこれからの将来像を、どう考えていいのか分からねぇよ。 Raynor Zeratul was looking for more clues about the end of the universe -- but this time he was on Aiur. ゼラトゥルは宇宙の滅亡に関する手がかりを探していたのだが――今回は惑星アイユールに居たよ。 Horner Aiur? What was he looking for? アイユール？彼は何を捜し求めていたのですか？ Raynor He was trying to find out why the Overmind made the Queen of Blades in the first place. 彼はオーバーマインドがそもそも何故刃の女王を生み出したのか、その理由を探っていた。 Horner She s the one that s going to destroy the universe? 彼女が宇宙の破滅に導いていると？ Raynor No, that s just it - I think she s the only one that can save it. いや、そうじゃないだ――彼女こそが破滅を食い止められる唯一の者らしい。 ▼Cantina ▽Tosh (【MEDIABLITZ】クリア以降？) Tosh (amused) What ve you been seein this time, man? (sober) Wait...I see it too. Kerrigan? おう、今度は何を見た？待て... 俺にも見える。ケリガンだな？ Raynor Seems the Overmind made Kerrigan to... free the zerg... from somethin . Put em on a collision course with the protoss. どうやらオーバーマインドはケリガンを...ザーグを何かから... 解放するために作ったようだ。何か、ザーグをプロトスとぶつかるように仕向けた奴から。 Raynor It s all gone wrong. Everything s... twisted, and there s something out there that s set to destroy us all. 何もかも間違ってる。すべて... ねじれてる、どこかに俺達全員を破滅させようとしてる奴がいる。 Tosh Zerg... protoss. These are strong races. How terrible - how powerful - is something that plays with their fates? ザーグ... それにプロトス。こいつらは強い種族だ。そんな奴らの運命を弄ぶような奴は - どれだけ恐しい - どれだけ強力なんだ？ (【MEDIABLITZ】クリア以前？)（管理人：MediaBlitzクリア以前には確かにこの文章を確認。ただしそれが条件かは未確認） Tosh You look... haunted.

I must protect the nation and the people. （君は敵。護るは国と民。） I believe myself, this is right, but.. （私は信じる。これが正しいと。） why I'm shedding a tear... （でもどうして、涙が止まらないの？） Believe you, trust you 今も私は 剣を振るい続ける 君がくれたもの全て 嘘はない 君の元に行けるように You were smiling, opening your arms. （君は微笑っていた。両手を広げていた。） You snuggled me with your hands red. （最期まで抱きしめてくれた。真っ赤なその手で。） "Believe you, trust you." （「貴方を信じてください。」） The sword was shedding a tear in my tremulous hands. （震える手の中で、剣の涙が落ちていた。） コメント のびろーっ！ -- 名無しさん (2009-05-09 10 04 24) かなり良い曲。英語の歌い方もきれいで、感動したっ！ -- 名無しさん (2009-05-31 03 22 10) 泣けた。曲調で -- 名無しさん (2016-09-02 18 11 34) 名前 コメント

Hairで1勝。(ランクマッチ) Long live me! Mask VS. Hairで5連勝。(ランクマッチ) 一度負けるとそのキャラはエキシビジョンで3勝しないと参加出来なくなるので談合する場合は注意。 A legend is born プラクティスで相手役を10回攻撃する。 Domination Strong as a toro それぞれ１試合内に「RT投げ50回」「LT投げ10回」。 ２Ｐ相手にやれば問題ない。 Dancing man １試合で４種類のアピール全て出す。 Raise ravens… アパッチのRT+A投げが目潰しなので、２Ｐ相手に５回決める。 Slippery like soap ２コンを連コンにして、Ｘ連打にしておけばいい。 ２ＰのパンチをひたすらタイミングよくRBでカウンターする。 Dirty game 反則を１試合で３回する。相手は２Ｐでいい。 ２回連続で負けになるので、警告が消えるまで待つこと。 A lo mero macho 「fatal facing of 4」（1vs1vs1vs1)で相手全てを倒す。 コントローラ４つあるなら棒立ちの相手３人を蹴飛ばしてフォールする簡単な作業。 Cheering him up 作成したバナーを３分間表示させる。 バナーは画面奥中央で水着美女が持っている。 バナーを作りさえすればいずれ解除される。 I want to be a robot フォールされた際に、秒間12回の連射をする。連コンがあれば余裕。 ¡TOMA! Y no te doy otra no más ノーマル以上のＣＰＵ相手じゃないと解除できない。 ひたすら攻撃を当て続け、全身のダメージが全部（頭・胴・腕・足）真っ赤になったら関節技でギブアップさせる。 Little ones can too PRIDE BATTLEでキャラ選択時にコナミコマンド（↑↑↓↓←→←→）を入力、音声が入ったらそのまま開始。頭でっかちモードになってたら成功、実績解除。ちなみにＣＰＵ相手じゃないとできない様子。 Freeze! ２Ｐ対戦で５分間放置する。 America s father in law アパッチのスペシャル技を出す。 Pero sigo siendo el Rey Espectro the king 「king of kings」（８人トーナメント）でノーマル難易度CPU相手に優勝する。 隠しキャラのEspectro Juniorを使えば下記実績も解除される。 決勝戦はストーリー後半並みの難易度なので素直にハメてしまったほうがいい。 Charismatic ノーマル難易度のCPU相手にゲージ星３つ以上溜まっている状態を５分以上キープする。 当然ながらスペシャルを使うと星３つ未満になるので使わないこと。 Flying without a ticket ノーマル難易度のCPU相手に場外ダイブ攻撃を１試合で１０回当てる。 相手はSuperflyがやりやすい。場外でダウンを奪いすぐにもどって、ダッシュ中ロープorコーナー手前でＢ。 A fly hard to catch ノーマル難易度のCPU相手にSuperflyのスペシャル技を１試合で５回当てる。 That s how you dance! ノーマル難易度のCPU相手にEl Elegidoを使って1vs2マッチで勝利する。 Showman Which one s the most special? 全ルチャドールのアピール・スペシャル技を出す。 前提条件として全キャラ使用可能にしないといけない。 ストーリーモードを２つの勢力でクリア＋「Espectro the king」「Flying without a ticket」「A fly hard to catch」「That s how you dance!」の４実績を解除することで全員使えるようになる。 使えるようになったら地道に２Ｐ対戦で出していく。 Butter arms おそらく一番最後に残る実績。 Slippery like soap実績と同じく２Ｐ連コン相手が一番早い。

(Enter Ko-Ko and Pooh-Bah.) KO-KO At last, my bride that is to be! (About to embrace her) YUM-YUM You’re not going to kiss me before all these people? KO-KO Well, that was the idea. YUM-YUM (aside to Peep-Bo) It seems odd, doesn’t it? PEEP-BO It’s rather peculiar. PITTI-SING Oh, I expect it’s all right. Must have a beginning, you know. YUM-YUM Well, of course I know nothing about these things; but I’ve no objection if it’s usual. KO-KO Oh, it’s quite usual, I think. Eh, Lord Chamberlain? (Appealing to Pooh-Bah) POOH-BAH I have known it done. (Ko-Ko embraces her) YUM-YUM Thank goodness that’s over! (Sees Nanki-Poo, and rushes to him.) Why, that’s never you? (The Three Girls rush to him and shake his hands, all speaking at once.) YUM-YUM Oh, I’m so glad! I haven’t seen you for ever so long, and I’m. right at the top of the school, and I’ve got three prizes, and I’ve come home for good, and I’m not going back any more! PEEP-BO And have you got an engagement? – Yum-Yum’s got one, but she doesn’t like it, and she’d ever so much rather it was you! I’ve come home for good, and I’m not going back any more! PITTI-SING Now tell us all the news, because you go about everywhere, and we’ve been at school, but, thank goodness, that’s all over now, and we’ve come home for good, and we’re not going back any more! (These three speeches are spoken together in one breath.) KO-KO I beg your pardon. Will you present me? YUM-YUM Oh, this is the musician who used... PEEP-BO Oh, this is the gentleman who used... PITTI-SING Oh, it is only Nanki-Poo who used... KO-KO One at a time, if you please. YUM-YUM Oh, if you please he’s the gentleman who used to play so beautifully on the... on the... PITTI-SING On the Marine Parade. YUM-YUM Yes, I think that was the name of the instrument. NANKI-POO Sir, I have the misfortune to love your ward, oh, I know I deserve your anger! KO-KO Anger! not a bit, my boy. Why, I love her myself. Charming little girl, isn’t she? Pretty eyes, nice hair. Taking little thing, altogether. Very glad to hear my opinion backed by a competent authority. Thank you very much. Good-bye. (To Pish-Tush) Take him away. (Pish-Tush removes him.) PITTI-SING (who has been examining Pooh-Bah) I beg your pardon, but what is this? Customer come to try on? KO-KO That is a Tremendous Swell. PITTI-SING Oh, it’s alive. (She starts back in alarm.) POOH-BAH Go away, little girls. Can’t talk to little girls like you. Go away, there’s dears. KO-KO Allow me to present you, Pooh-Bah. These are my three wards. The one in the middle is my bride elect. POOH-BAH What do you want me to do to them? Mind, I will not kiss them. KO-KO No, no, you shan’t kiss them; a little bow, a mere nothing, you needn’t mean it, you know. POOH-BAH It goes against the grain. They are not young ladies, they are young persons. KO-KO Come, come, make an effort, there’s a good nobleman. POOH-BAH (aside to Ko-Ko) Well, I shan’t mean it. (With a great effort.) How de do, little girls, how de do? (Aside.) Oh, my protoplasmal ancestor! KO-KO That’s very good. (Girls indulge in suppressed laughter.) POOH-BAH I see nothing to laugh at. It is very painful to me to have to say ‘How de do, little girls, how de do? ’ to young persons. I’m not in the habit of saying ‘How de do, little girls, how de do?’ to anybody under the rank of a Stockbroker. KO-KO (aside to girls) Don’t laugh at him, he can’t help it He’s under treatment for it. (Aside to Pooh-Bah) Never mind them, they don’t understand the delicacy of your position. POOH-BAH We know how delicate it is, don’t we? KO-KO I should think we did! How a nobleman of your importance can do it at all is a thing I never can, never shall understand. (Ko-Ko-retires up and goes off) Quartet and Chorus YUM-YUM, PEEP-BO, PITTI-SING So please you, sir, we much regret. If we have failed in etiquette Towards a man of rank so high We shall know better by and by. YUM-YUM But youth, of course, must have its fling, So pardon us, So pardon us, PITTI-SING And don’t, in girlhood’s happy spring, Be hard on us, Be hard on us, If we’re inclined to dance and sing.. Tra la la, etc. (Dancing.) GIRLS But youth, of course, etc. POOH-BAH I think you ought to recollect You cannot show too much respect Towards the highly titled few; But nobody does, and why should you? That youth at us should have its fling, Is hard on us, Is hard on us; To our prerogative we cling So pardon us, So pardon us, If we decline to dance and sing. Tra la la, etc. (Dancing) GIRLS But youth, of course, must have its fling, etc. (Exeunt all but Yum-Yum.) (Enter Nanki-Poo) NANKI-POO Yum-Yum, at last we are alone! I have sought you night and day for three weeks, in the belief that your guardian was beheaded, and I find that you are about to be married to him this afternoon! YUM-YUM Alas, yes! NANKI-POO But you do not love him? YUM-YUM Alas, no! NANKI-POO Modified rapture! But why do you not refuse him? YUM-YUM What good would that do? He’s my guardian, and he wouldn’t let me marry you! NANKI-POO But I would wait until you were of age! YUM-YUM You forget that in Japan girls do not arrive at years of discretion until they are fifty. NANKI-POO True; from seventeen to forty-nine are considered years of indiscretion. YUM-YUM Besides, a wandering minstrel, who plays a wind instrument outside tea-houses, is hardly a fitting husband for the ward of a Lord High Executioner. NANKI-POO But.. (Aside.) Shall I tell her? Yes! She will not betray me! (Aloud.) What if it should prove that, after all, I am no musician? YUM-YUM There! I was certain of it, directly I heard you play! NANKI-POO What if it should prove that I am no other than the son of his Majesty the Mikado? YUM-YUM The son of the Mikado! But why is your Highness disguised? And what has your Highness done? And will your Highness promise never to do it again? NANKI-POO Some years ago I had the misfortune to captivate Katisha, an elderly lady of my father’s Court. She misconstrued my customary affability into expressions of affection, and claimed me in marriage, under my father’s law. My father, the Lucius Junius Brutus of his race, ordered me to marry her within a week, or perish ignominiously on the scaffold. That night I fled his Court, and, assuming the disguise of a Second Trombone, I joined the band in which you found me when I had the happiness of seeing you! (Approaching her) YUM-YUM (retreating) If you please, I think your Highness had better not come too near. The laws against flirting are excessively severe. NANKI-POO But we are quite alone, and nobody can see us. YUM-YUM Still, that doesn’t make it right. To flirt is capital. NANKI-POO It is capital! YUM-YUM And we must obey the law. NANKI-POO Deuce take the law! YUM-YUM I wish it would, but it won’t! NANKI-POO If it were not for that, how happy we might be! YUM-YUM Happy indeed! NANKI-POO If it were not for the law, we should now be sitting side by side, like that. (Sits by her.) YUM-YUM. Instead of being obliged to sit half a mile off, like that. (Crosses and sits at other side of stage.) NANKI-POO We should be gazing into each other’s eyes, like that. (Gazing at her sentimentally.) YUM-YUM Breathing sighs of unutterable love, like that. (Sighing and gazing lovingly at him.) NANKI-POO With our arms round each other’s waists, like that. (Embracing her) YUM-YUM Yes, if it wasn’t for the law. NANKI-POO If it wasn’t for the law. YUM-YUM As it is, of course we couldn’t do anything of the kind. NANKI-POO Not for worlds! YUM-YUM Being engaged to Ko-Ko, you know! NANKI-POO Being engaged to Ko-Ko! Duet Yum-Yum, Nanki-Poo. NANKI-POO Were you not to Ko-Ko plighted, I would say in tender tone, ‘Loved one, let us be united, Let us be each other’s own!’ I would merge all rank and station, Worldly sneers are nought to us, And, to mark my admiration, I would kiss you fondly thus. (Kisses her) BOTH I/He would kiss you/me fondly thus. (Kiss) YUM-YUM But as I’m engaged to Ko-Ko, To embrace you thus, con fuoco, Would distinctly be no giuoco, And for yam I should get toko. BOTH Toko, toko, toko, toko! NANKI-POO So, in spite of all temptation, Such a theme I’ll not discuss, And on no consideration Will I kiss you fondly thus. (Kissing her.) Let me make it clear to you, This is what I’ll never do! This, oh, this, oh, this, oh, this. (Kissing her.) TOGETHER This, Oh, this, etc. (Exeunt in opposite directions.) (Enter Ko-Ko.) KO-KO (looking after Yum-Yum) There she goes! To think how entirely my future happiness is wrapped up in that little parcel! Really, it hardly seems worth while! Oh, matrimony! (Enter Pooh-Bah and Pish-Tush.) Now then, what is it? Can’t you see I’m soliloquizing? You have interrupted an apostrophe, sir! PISH-TUSH I am the bearer of a letter from his Majesty the Mikado. KO-KO (taking it from him reverentially) A letter from the Mikado! What in the world can he have to say to me? (Reads letter) Ah, here it is at last! I thought it would come sooner or later! The Mikado is struck by the fact that no executions have taken place in Titipu for a year, and decrees that unless somebody is beheaded within one month the post of Lord High Executioner shall be abolished, and the city reduced to the rank of a village! PISH-TUSH But that will involve us all in irretrievable ruin! KO-KO Yes. There is no help for it, I shall have to execute somebody at once. The only question is, who shall it be? POOH-BAH Well, it seems unkind to say so, but as you’re already under sentence of death for flirting, everything seems to point to you. KO-KO To me? What are you talking about? I can’t execute myself. POOH-BAH Why not? KO-KO Why not? Because, in the first place, self-decapitation is an extremely difficult, not to say dangerous, thing to attempt; and, in the second, it’s suicide, and suicide is a capital offence. POOH-BAH That is so, no doubt. PISH-TUSH We might reserve that point. POOH-BAH True, it could be argued six months hence, before the full Court. KO-KO Besides, I don’t see how a man can cut off his own head. POOH-BAH A man might try. PISH-TUSH Even if you only succeeded in cutting it half off, that would be something. POOH-BAH It would be taken as an earnest of your desire to comply with the Imperial will. KO-KO No. Pardon me, but there I am adamant. As official Headsman, my reputation is at stake, and I can’t consent to embark on a professional operation unless I see my way to a successful result. POOH-BAH This professional conscientiousness is highly creditable to you, but it places us in a very awkward position. KO-KO My good sir, the awkwardness of your position is grace itself compared with that of a man engaged in the act of cutting off his own head. PISH-TUSH I am afraid that, unless you can obtain a substitute. KO-KO A substitute? Oh, certainly, nothing easier. (To Pooh-Bah) Pooh-Bah, I appoint you Lord High Substitute. POOH-BAH I should be delighted. Such an appointment would realize my fondest dreams. But no, at any sacrifice, I must set bounds to my insatiable ambition! Trio POOH-BAH I am so proud, If I allowed My family pride To be my guide, I’d volunteer To quit this sphere Instead of you, In a minute or two. But family pride Must be denied, And set aside, And mortified. And so, Although I wish to go, And greatly pine To brightly shine, And take the line Of a hero fine, With grief condign I must decline, I must decline, I must decline. KO-KO My brain it teems With endless schemes Both good and new. For Titipu; But if I flit, The benefit That I’d diffuse The town would lose! Now every man To aid his clan Should plot and plan As best he can, And so, Although I’m ready to go, Yet recollect ’Twere disrespect Did I neglect To thus effect This aim direct, So I object, So I object, So I object. PISH-TUSH I heard one day A gentleman say That criminals who Are cut in two Can hardly feel The fatal steel, And so are slain Without much pain. If this is true, It’s jolly for you; Your courage screw To bid us adieu, And go And show Both friend and foe How much you dare. I’m quite aware It’s your affair, Yet I declare I’d take your share, But I don’t much care, I don’t much care, I don’t much care. ALL To sit in solemn silence in a dull, dark dock, In a pestilential prison, with a life-long lock, Awaiting the sensation of a short, sharp shock, From a cheap and chippy chopper on a big black block! (Exeunt Pooh-Bah and Pish-Tush) KO-KO This is simply appalling! I, who allowed myself to be respited at the last moment, simply in order to benefit my native town, am now required to die within a month, and that by a man whom I have loaded with honours! Is this public gratitude? Is this (Enter Nanki-Poo, with a rope in his hands.) Go away, sir! How dare you? Am I never to be permitted to soliloquize? NANKI-POO Oh, go on, don’t mind me. KO-KO What are you going to do with that rope? NANKI-POO I am about to terminate an unendurable existence. KO-KO Terminate your existence? Oh, nonsense! What for? NANKI-POO Because you are going to marry the girl I adore. KO-KO Nonsense, sir. I won’t permit it. I am a humane man, and if you attempt anything of the kind I shall order your instant arrest. Come, sir, desist at once, or I summon my guard. NANKI-POO That’s absurd. If you attempt to raise an alarm, I instantly perform the Happy Despatch with this dagger. KO-KO No, no, don’t do that. This is horrible! (Suddenly) Why, you cold-blooded scoundrel, are you aware that, in taking your life, you are committing, a crime which...which... which... is... Oh! (Struck by an idea) Substitute! NANKI-POO What’s the matter? KO-KO Is it absolutely certain that you are resolved to die? NANKI-POO Absolutely! KO-KO Will nothing shake your resolution? NANKI-POO Nothing. KO-KO Threats, entreaties, prayers – all useless? NANKI-POO All! My mind is made up. KO-KO Then, if you really mean what you say, and if you are absolutely resolved to die, and if nothing whatever will shake your determination, don’t spoil yourself by committing suicide, but be beheaded handsomely at the hands of the Public Executioner! NANKI-POO I don’t see how that would benefit me. KO-KO You don’t? Observe you’ll have a month to live, and you’ll live like a fighting-cock at my expense. When the day comes there’ll be a grand public ceremonial, you’ll be the central figure, no one will attempt to deprive you of that distinction. There’ll be a procession, bands, dead march, bells tolling, all the girls in tears, Yum-Yum distracted, then, when it’s all over, general rejoicings, and a display of fireworks in the evening. You won’t see them, but they’ll be there all the same. NANKI-POO Do you think Yum-Yum would really be distracted at my death? KO-KO I am convinced of it. Bless you, she’s the most tender-hearted little creature alive. NANKI-POO I should be sorry to cause her pain. Perhaps, after all, if I were to withdraw from Japan, and travel in Europe for a couple of years, I might contrive to forget her. KO-KO Oh, I don’t think you could forget Yum-Yum so easily; and, after all, what is more miserable than a love blighted life? NANKI-POO True. KO-KO Life without Yum-Yum – why, it seems absurd! NANKI-POO And yet there area good many people in the world who have to endure it. KO-KO Poor devils, yes! You are quite right not to be of their number. NANKI-POO (suddenly) I won’t be of their number! KO-KO Noble fellow! NANKI-POO I’ll tell you how we’ll manage it. Let me marry Yum-Yum tomorrow, and in a month you may behead me. KO-KO No, no. I draw the line at Yum-Yum. NANKI-POO Very good. If you can draw the line so can I. (Preparing rope) KO-KO Stop, stop! Listen one moment. Be reasonable. How can I consent to your marrying Yum-Yum if I’m going to marry her myself? NANKI-POO My good friend, she’ll be a widow in a month, and you can marry her then. KO-KO That’s true, of course. I quite see that. But, dear me! my position during the next month will be most unpleasant, most unpleasant. NANKI-POO Not half so unpleasant as my position at the end of it. KO-KO But, dear me! Well, I agree, after all, it’s only putting off my wedding for a month. But you won’t prejudice her against me, will you? You see, I’ve educated her to be my wife; she’s been taught to regard me as a wise and good man. Now I shouldnt like her views on that point disturbed.

Away you go, Collect your hordes; Proclaim your woe In dismal chords; We do not heed their dismal sound, For joy reigns everywhere around. (Katisha rushes furiously up stage, clearing the crowd away right and left, finishing on steps at the back of stage.) (Enter Ko-Ko and Pooh-Bah.) KO-KO At last, my bride that is to be! (About to embrace her) YUM-YUM You’re not going to kiss me before all these people? KO-KO Well, that was the idea. YUM-YUM (aside to Peep-Bo) It seems odd, doesn’t it? PEEP-BO It’s rather peculiar. PITTI-SING Oh, I expect it’s all right. Must have a beginning, you know. YUM-YUM Well, of course I know nothing about these things; but I’ve no objection if it’s usual. KO-KO Oh, it’s quite usual, I think. Eh, Lord Chamberlain? (Appealing to Pooh-Bah) POOH-BAH I have known it done. (Ko-Ko embraces her) YUM-YUM Thank goodness that’s over! (Sees Nanki-Poo, and rushes to him.) Why, that’s never you? (The Three Girls rush to him and shake his hands, all speaking at once.) YUM-YUM Oh, I’m so glad! I haven’t seen you for ever so long, and I’m. right at the top of the school, and I’ve got three prizes, and I’ve come home for good, and I’m not going back any more! PEEP-BO And have you got an engagement? – Yum-Yum’s got one, but she doesn’t like it, and she’d ever so much rather it was you! I’ve come home for good, and I’m not going back any more! PITTI-SING Now tell us all the news, because you go about everywhere, and we’ve been at school, but, thank goodness, that’s all over now, and we’ve come home for good, and we’re not going back any more! (These three speeches are spoken together in one breath.) KO-KO I beg your pardon. Will you present me? YUM-YUM Oh, this is the musician who used... PEEP-BO Oh, this is the gentleman who used... PITTI-SING Oh, it is only Nanki-Poo who used... KO-KO One at a time, if you please. YUM-YUM Oh, if you please he’s the gentleman who used to play so beautifully on the... on the... PITTI-SING On the Marine Parade. YUM-YUM Yes, I think that was the name of the instrument. NANKI-POO Sir, I have the misfortune to love your ward, oh, I know I deserve your anger! KO-KO Anger! not a bit, my boy. Why, I love her myself. Charming little girl, isn’t she? Pretty eyes, nice hair. Taking little thing, altogether. Very glad to hear my opinion backed by a competent authority. Thank you very much. Good-bye. (To Pish-Tush) Take him away. (Pish-Tush removes him.) PITTI-SING (who has been examining Pooh-Bah) I beg your pardon, but what is this? Customer come to try on? KO-KO That is a Tremendous Swell. PITTI-SING Oh, it’s alive. (She starts back in alarm.) POOH-BAH Go away, little girls. Can’t talk to little girls like you. Go away, there’s dears. KO-KO Allow me to present you, Pooh-Bah. These are my three wards. The one in the middle is my bride elect. POOH-BAH What do you want me to do to them? Mind, I will not kiss them. KO-KO No, no, you shan’t kiss them; a little bow, a mere nothing, you needn’t mean it, you know. POOH-BAH It goes against the grain. They are not young ladies, they are young persons. KO-KO Come, come, make an effort, there’s a good nobleman. POOH-BAH (aside to Ko-Ko) Well, I shan’t mean it. (With a great effort.) How de do, little girls, how de do? (Aside.) Oh, my protoplasmal ancestor! KO-KO That’s very good. (Girls indulge in suppressed laughter.) POOH-BAH I see nothing to laugh at. It is very painful to me to have to say ‘How de do, little girls, how de do? ’ to young persons. I’m not in the habit of saying ‘How de do, little girls, how de do?’ to anybody under the rank of a Stockbroker. KO-KO (aside to girls) Don’t laugh at him, he can’t help it He’s under treatment for it. (Aside to Pooh-Bah) Never mind them, they don’t understand the delicacy of your position. POOH-BAH We know how delicate it is, don’t we? KO-KO I should think we did! How a nobleman of your importance can do it at all is a thing I never can, never shall understand. (Ko-Ko-retires up and goes off) Quartet and Chorus YUM-YUM, PEEP-BO, PITTI-SING So please you, sir, we much regret. If we have failed in etiquette Towards a man of rank so high We shall know better by and by. YUM-YUM But youth, of course, must have its fling, So pardon us, So pardon us, PITTI-SING And don’t, in girlhood’s happy spring, Be hard on us, Be hard on us, If we’re inclined to dance and sing.. Tra la la, etc. (Dancing.) GIRLS But youth, of course, etc. POOH-BAH I think you ought to recollect You cannot show too much respect Towards the highly titled few; But nobody does, and why should you? That youth at us should have its fling, Is hard on us, Is hard on us; To our prerogative we cling So pardon us, So pardon us, If we decline to dance and sing. Tra la la, etc. (Dancing) GIRLS But youth, of course, must have its fling, etc. (Exeunt all but Yum-Yum.) (Enter Nanki-Poo) NANKI-POO Yum-Yum, at last we are alone! I have sought you night and day for three weeks, in the belief that your guardian was beheaded, and I find that you are about to be married to him this afternoon! YUM-YUM Alas, yes! NANKI-POO But you do not love him? YUM-YUM Alas, no! NANKI-POO Modified rapture! But why do you not refuse him? YUM-YUM What good would that do? He’s my guardian, and he wouldn’t let me marry you! NANKI-POO But I would wait until you were of age! YUM-YUM You forget that in Japan girls do not arrive at years of discretion until they are fifty. NANKI-POO True; from seventeen to forty-nine are considered years of indiscretion. YUM-YUM Besides, a wandering minstrel, who plays a wind instrument outside tea-houses, is hardly a fitting husband for the ward of a Lord High Executioner. NANKI-POO But.. (Aside.) Shall I tell her? Yes! She will not betray me! (Aloud.) What if it should prove that, after all, I am no musician? YUM-YUM There! I was certain of it, directly I heard you play! NANKI-POO What if it should prove that I am no other than the son of his Majesty the Mikado? YUM-YUM The son of the Mikado! But why is your Highness disguised? And what has your Highness done? And will your Highness promise never to do it again? NANKI-POO Some years ago I had the misfortune to captivate Katisha, an elderly lady of my father’s Court. She misconstrued my customary affability into expressions of affection, and claimed me in marriage, under my father’s law. My father, the Lucius Junius Brutus of his race, ordered me to marry her within a week, or perish ignominiously on the scaffold. That night I fled his Court, and, assuming the disguise of a Second Trombone, I joined the band in which you found me when I had the happiness of seeing you! (Approaching her) YUM-YUM (retreating) If you please, I think your Highness had better not come too near. The laws against flirting are excessively severe. NANKI-POO But we are quite alone, and nobody can see us. YUM-YUM Still, that doesn’t make it right. To flirt is capital. NANKI-POO It is capital! YUM-YUM And we must obey the law. NANKI-POO Deuce take the law! YUM-YUM I wish it would, but it won’t! NANKI-POO If it were not for that, how happy we might be! YUM-YUM Happy indeed! NANKI-POO If it were not for the law, we should now be sitting side by side, like that. (Sits by her.) YUM-YUM. Instead of being obliged to sit half a mile off, like that. (Crosses and sits at other side of stage.) NANKI-POO We should be gazing into each other’s eyes, like that. (Gazing at her sentimentally.) YUM-YUM Breathing sighs of unutterable love, like that. (Sighing and gazing lovingly at him.) NANKI-POO With our arms round each other’s waists, like that. (Embracing her) YUM-YUM Yes, if it wasn’t for the law. NANKI-POO If it wasn’t for the law. YUM-YUM As it is, of course we couldn’t do anything of the kind. NANKI-POO Not for worlds! YUM-YUM Being engaged to Ko-Ko, you know! NANKI-POO Being engaged to Ko-Ko! Duet Yum-Yum, Nanki-Poo. NANKI-POO Were you not to Ko-Ko plighted, I would say in tender tone, ‘Loved one, let us be united, Let us be each other’s own!’ I would merge all rank and station, Worldly sneers are nought to us, And, to mark my admiration, I would kiss you fondly thus. (Kisses her) BOTH I/He would kiss you/me fondly thus. (Kiss) YUM-YUM But as I’m engaged to Ko-Ko, To embrace you thus, con fuoco, Would distinctly be no giuoco, And for yam I should get toko. BOTH Toko, toko, toko, toko! NANKI-POO So, in spite of all temptation, Such a theme I’ll not discuss, And on no consideration Will I kiss you fondly thus. (Kissing her.) Let me make it clear to you, This is what I’ll never do! This, oh, this, oh, this, oh, this. (Kissing her.) TOGETHER This, Oh, this, etc. (Exeunt in opposite directions.) (Enter Ko-Ko.) KO-KO (looking after Yum-Yum) There she goes! To think how entirely my future happiness is wrapped up in that little parcel! Really, it hardly seems worth while! Oh, matrimony! (Enter Pooh-Bah and Pish-Tush.) Now then, what is it? Can’t you see I’m soliloquizing? You have interrupted an apostrophe, sir! PISH-TUSH I am the bearer of a letter from his Majesty the Mikado. KO-KO (taking it from him reverentially) A letter from the Mikado! What in the world can he have to say to me? (Reads letter) Ah, here it is at last! I thought it would come sooner or later! The Mikado is struck by the fact that no executions have taken place in Titipu for a year, and decrees that unless somebody is beheaded within one month the post of Lord High Executioner shall be abolished, and the city reduced to the rank of a village! PISH-TUSH But that will involve us all in irretrievable ruin! KO-KO Yes. There is no help for it, I shall have to execute somebody at once. The only question is, who shall it be? POOH-BAH Well, it seems unkind to say so, but as you’re already under sentence of death for flirting, everything seems to point to you. KO-KO To me? What are you talking about? I can’t execute myself. POOH-BAH Why not? KO-KO Why not? Because, in the first place, self-decapitation is an extremely difficult, not to say dangerous, thing to attempt; and, in the second, it’s suicide, and suicide is a capital offence. POOH-BAH That is so, no doubt. PISH-TUSH We might reserve that point. POOH-BAH True, it could be argued six months hence, before the full Court. KO-KO Besides, I don’t see how a man can cut off his own head. POOH-BAH A man might try. PISH-TUSH Even if you only succeeded in cutting it half off, that would be something. POOH-BAH It would be taken as an earnest of your desire to comply with the Imperial will. KO-KO No. Pardon me, but there I am adamant. As official Headsman, my reputation is at stake, and I can’t consent to embark on a professional operation unless I see my way to a successful result. POOH-BAH This professional conscientiousness is highly creditable to you, but it places us in a very awkward position. KO-KO My good sir, the awkwardness of your position is grace itself compared with that of a man engaged in the act of cutting off his own head. PISH-TUSH I am afraid that, unless you can obtain a substitute. KO-KO A substitute? Oh, certainly, nothing easier. (To Pooh-Bah) Pooh-Bah, I appoint you Lord High Substitute. POOH-BAH I should be delighted. Such an appointment would realize my fondest dreams. But no, at any sacrifice, I must set bounds to my insatiable ambition! Trio POOH-BAH I am so proud, If I allowed My family pride To be my guide, I’d volunteer To quit this sphere Instead of you, In a minute or two. But family pride Must be denied, And set aside, And mortified. And so, Although I wish to go, And greatly pine To brightly shine, And take the line Of a hero fine, With grief condign I must decline, I must decline, I must decline. KO-KO My brain it teems With endless schemes Both good and new. For Titipu; But if I flit, The benefit That I’d diffuse The town would lose! Now every man To aid his clan Should plot and plan As best he can, And so, Although I’m ready to go, Yet recollect ’Twere disrespect Did I neglect To thus effect This aim direct, So I object, So I object, So I object. PISH-TUSH I heard one day A gentleman say That criminals who Are cut in two Can hardly feel The fatal steel, And so are slain Without much pain. If this is true, It’s jolly for you; Your courage screw To bid us adieu, And go And show Both friend and foe How much you dare. I’m quite aware It’s your affair, Yet I declare I’d take your share, But I don’t much care, I don’t much care, I don’t much care. ALL To sit in solemn silence in a dull, dark dock, In a pestilential prison, with a life-long lock, Awaiting the sensation of a short, sharp shock, From a cheap and chippy chopper on a big black block! (Exeunt Pooh-Bah and Pish-Tush) KO-KO This is simply appalling! I, who allowed myself to be respited at the last moment, simply in order to benefit my native town, am now required to die within a month, and that by a man whom I have loaded with honours! Is this public gratitude? Is this (Enter Nanki-Poo, with a rope in his hands.) Go away, sir! How dare you? Am I never to be permitted to soliloquize? NANKI-POO Oh, go on, don’t mind me. KO-KO What are you going to do with that rope? NANKI-POO I am about to terminate an unendurable existence. KO-KO Terminate your existence? Oh, nonsense! What for? NANKI-POO Because you are going to marry the girl I adore. KO-KO Nonsense, sir. I won’t permit it. I am a humane man, and if you attempt anything of the kind I shall order your instant arrest. Come, sir, desist at once, or I summon my guard. NANKI-POO That’s absurd. If you attempt to raise an alarm, I instantly perform the Happy Despatch with this dagger. KO-KO No, no, don’t do that. This is horrible! (Suddenly) Why, you cold-blooded scoundrel, are you aware that, in taking your life, you are committing, a crime which...which... which... is... Oh! (Struck by an idea) Substitute! NANKI-POO What’s the matter? KO-KO Is it absolutely certain that you are resolved to die? NANKI-POO Absolutely! KO-KO Will nothing shake your resolution? NANKI-POO Nothing. KO-KO Threats, entreaties, prayers – all useless? NANKI-POO All! My mind is made up. KO-KO Then, if you really mean what you say, and if you are absolutely resolved to die, and if nothing whatever will shake your determination, don’t spoil yourself by committing suicide, but be beheaded handsomely at the hands of the Public Executioner! NANKI-POO I don’t see how that would benefit me. KO-KO You don’t? Observe you’ll have a month to live, and you’ll live like a fighting-cock at my expense. When the day comes there’ll be a grand public ceremonial, you’ll be the central figure, no one will attempt to deprive you of that distinction. There’ll be a procession, bands, dead march, bells tolling, all the girls in tears, Yum-Yum distracted, then, when it’s all over, general rejoicings, and a display of fireworks in the evening. You won’t see them, but they’ll be there all the same. NANKI-POO Do you think Yum-Yum would really be distracted at my death? KO-KO I am convinced of it. Bless you, she’s the most tender-hearted little creature alive. NANKI-POO I should be sorry to cause her pain. Perhaps, after all, if I were to withdraw from Japan, and travel in Europe for a couple of years, I might contrive to forget her. KO-KO Oh, I don’t think you could forget Yum-Yum so easily; and, after all, what is more miserable than a love blighted life? NANKI-POO True. KO-KO Life without Yum-Yum – why, it seems absurd! NANKI-POO And yet there area good many people in the world who have to endure it. KO-KO Poor devils, yes! You are quite right not to be of their number. NANKI-POO (suddenly) I won’t be of their number! KO-KO Noble fellow! NANKI-POO I’ll tell you how we’ll manage it. Let me marry Yum-Yum tomorrow, and in a month you may behead me. KO-KO No, no. I draw the line at Yum-Yum. NANKI-POO Very good. If you can draw the line so can I. (Preparing rope) KO-KO Stop, stop! Listen one moment. Be reasonable. How can I consent to your marrying Yum-Yum if I’m going to marry her myself? NANKI-POO My good friend, she’ll be a widow in a month, and you can marry her then. KO-KO That’s true, of course. I quite see that. But, dear me! my position during the next month will be most unpleasant, most unpleasant. NANKI-POO Not half so unpleasant as my position at the end of it. KO-KO But, dear me! Well, I agree, after all, it’s only putting off my wedding for a month. But you won’t prejudice her against me, will you? You see, I’ve educated her to be my wife; she’s been taught to regard me as a wise and good man. Now I shouldnt like her views on that point disturbed. NANKI-POO Trust me, she shall never learn the truth from me. (Enter Chorus, Pooh-Bah and Pish-Tush) CHORUS With aspect stern And gloomy stride, We come to learn How you decide. Don’t hesitate Your choice to name, A dreadful fate You’ll suffer all the same. POOH-BAH To ask you what you mean to do we punctually appear. KO-KO Congratulate me, gentlemen, I’ve found a Volunteer! ALL The Japanese equivalent for Hear, Hear, Hear! KO-KO (presenting him) ’Tis Nanki-Poo! ALL Hail, Nanki-Poo! KO-KO I think he’ll do? ALL Yes, yes, he’ll do!

This is the story The legend of glory The truthful story of the brave... The time has come We must be there To help the knight, bring back the light And came the warning We must keep moving Though it may be To fight our destiny Away from home, away from our love and family We must go back, breaking the spell with out hands (we pray for you, your safe return) Proud on a steed with our swords to the sky Over the hills riding through the valley We ll fight together to free us from terror A new page is written to guide us through the night Godspeed thy soul
