Golden Helmet Of Mambrino
(Mitch Leigh / Joe Darion)
DON QUIXOTE
Hand over that golden helmet!
BARBER
But this is a shaving basin!
DON QUIXOTE
Shaving basin! Know thou not what this really is?
The Golden Helmet of Mambrino!
When worn by one of noble heart, it renders
him invulnerable to all wounds!
(to the Barber whacking the barrel with his sword)
Hand it over!
Thou Golden Helmet of Mambrino,
With so illustrious a past,
Too long hast thou been lost to glory,
Th'art rediscovered now at last!
Golden Helmet of Mambrino
There can be no hat like thee!
Thou and I now, ere I die now,
Will make golden history!
BARBER
(aside to Sancho)
I can hear the cuckoo singing
In the cuckooberry tree...
SANCHO
(aside to Barber)
If he says that that's a helmet,
I suggest that you agree...
BARBER
(aside to Sancho)
But he'll find it is not gold
And will not make him bold and brave...
SANCHO
(aside to Barber)
Well, at least he'll find it useful
If he ever needs a shave!
DON QUIXOTE
Thou Golden Helmet of Mambrino,
Thy deeds the world will not forget,
Now Don Quixote de La Mancha,
Will bring thee greater glory yet!
DON QUIXOTE, BARBER, SANCHO, MULETEERS
Golden Helmet of Mambrino
There can be no hat like thee.
DON QUIXOTE
Thou and I now, ere I die now,
Will make golden history!
BARBER, SANCHO, MULETEERS
Golden Helmet of Mambrino
Will make golden history!
