I Am Not Dead Yet
Fred: (spoken) I feel happy. I feel happy
Fred: I am not dead yet
I can dance and I can sing
I am not dead yet
I can do the Highland fling
I am not dead yet
No need to go to bed
No need to call the doctor
'Cos I'm not yet dead
Male Chorus: He is not yet dead
That's what the geezer said
Oh, he's not yet dead
That man is off his head
He is not yet dead
Put him back in bed
Keep him off the cart because he's not yet dead
Fred dances to show everyone he's not dead. Then Lancelot whacks him on the head with a shovel. There's a wee pause
Male Chorus:
Well now he's dead
You whacked him on the head
Sure now he's dead
It makes me just see red
You are such a brute
To murder that old coot
You homicidal bastard, now he's really dead
Who is the knave (who is he?)
Who put him in his grave
And who needs to manage his anger?
Lance: My name is Lancelot
I'm big and strong and hot (UK version: Butch and strong and hot)
Occasionally I do
Some things that I should not
Robin: I want to be a knight
But I don't like to fight
I'm rather scared I may
Simply run away
Lance: I'll be right with you
Robin through and through and through
So stick with me and I'll show you what to do
Robin and Lance: We'll remain good chums
Lance: You can teach me how to dance
Both: We're going to enlist
Robin: I'm Robin
Lance: And I'm Lance
Male Chorus:
Oh we're off to war
Because we're not yet dead
We will all enlist
As the Knights that Arthur led
Fred: I am coming too
My name will be Sir Fred
I'll be your musician
‘Cos I'm not yet dead
Male Chorus: Oh we're not dead yet
To Camelot we go
To enlist instead
To try and earn some dough
And so although
We should have stayed in bed
We're going off to war
Because we're not yet dead
Lance: (over chorus) To kill
I will
It gives me such a thrill
Robin: (Over chorus) To sing
And dance
And keep an eye on Lance
