Brave Sir Cedric

[Verse] Sir Cedric, a promising youth, so brave, loyal, and true, Disciplined and noble, with character through and through. Given a quest by the king, of utmost importance and weight, Cedric accepts with honor, ready to meet his fate. [Verse] He rides through the city, hailed by everyone around, "Brave Sir Cedric," they cheer, "in duty, you are bound." With pride in his heart and determination in his eye, He rides on his noble steed beneath the open sky. [Verse] But then he spots the Tipsy Maiden's Inn, memories flooding back, Good times and laughter, in his mind, they stack. Beckoned by the host, Cedric heeds the call, Polite and agreeable, he steps into the hall. [Chorus] Oh, brave Sir Cedric, so valiant and true, Who knew that your quest would be drinking a brew? In the inn with the laughter and barrels of cheer, You found your true calling in flagons of beer. [Humming] [Instrumental bridge] [Verse] The innkeeper offers a beer, which Cedric does not refuse, He's about to leave when two knightly friends bemuse. "Why are you here?" one asks with surprise, "Just one glass," says Cedric, "then off on my ride." [Verse] But the second friend insists, "One more can't hurt, you see, A good knight won't abandon friends without sharing a spree." Cedric nods, agreeing with his friend, He takes another drink, the fun doesn't end. [Instrumental] [Instrumental] [Chorus] Oh, brave Sir Cedric, so valiant and true, Who knew that your quest would be drinking a brew? In the inn with the laughter and barrels of cheer, You found your true calling in flagons of beer. [Instrumental] [Instrumental] [Verse] Cedric is about to leave, but then suddenly he spies, A beautiful barmaid in the corner of his eyes. His friends give a nudge, "Go on, make her day," Cedric approaches, with something clever to say. [Verse] Though not particularly funny, she laughs with delight, Encourages another round, "Let's make it a night." Music started playing, and she started to sing so sweet, Cedric and friends drink, tapping their mighty feet. [Bridge] Cedric remaining firmly... ... In his seat. [Instrumental] [Instrumental] [Verse] Oh, brave Sir Cedric, so valiant and true, Who knew that your quest would be drinking a brew? In the inn with the laughter and barrels of cheer, You found your true calling in flagons of beer. [Instrumental] [Instrumental] [Verse] About to leave again, Cedric's resolve is strong, But then he sees a man from the past, oh it's been so long. With tales of old, and stories to share, Cedric and the old friend, drink without a care. [Verse] The tales go from sorrow, to happiness, to cheer, Cedric drinks with him, for many a beer. He's about to leave, feeling worse for wear, When the priest stands beside him, with a lecturing glare. [Instrumental] [Break] [Instrumental] [Monk choir] Aaaaaaa-heem A-hee-eee-eeem Aa-he-e-e-eeeem Aa-hee-e-e-e-eeeem [Verse] "Why are you still here?" the priest starts to say, "Chivalry's not dead, it shouldn't fade away." Cedric listens patiently, agreeing with care, But his old friend challenges, "A drinking contest, fair!" [Instrumental] [Instrumental bridge] [Verse] The priest, though slightly ahead, takes the challenge in stride, Drinks another glass on the spot, humility put aside. They drink and they laugh, the contest in play, Cedric, the priest, and friends, wile the night away. [Instrumental] [Break] [Instrumental bridge] [Chorus] Oh, brave Sir Cedric, so valiant and true, Who knew that your quest would be drinking a brew? In the inn with the laughter and barrels of cheer, You found your true calling in flagons of beer. [Outro] So here's to Sir Cedric, and all of the rest, Who found that being sober isn't always the best. In the tales of the kingdom, let this story be told, Of a knight’s misadventures, both daring and bold. [Instrumental outro]
