Bridgekeeper

[Intro]
[Instrumental]

[Verse 1]
Grail-seekers
come to me
answer these, my questions three
ere the other side you see

[verse 2]
Go on, bridgekeeper
I have no fear
of peril, death, or even thee
ask, and ask, and ask again
for I shall answer your questions three

[Bridge]
[spoken] what is your name? (sir Robin of Camelot)
[spoken] what is your quest? (I seek the Holy Grail)
[spoken] what is the capital of assyria? (what? I don't know that!)
[blood curdling scream] AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHH!!!

[chorus]
I keep the bridge of death
in the raging gorge beneath,
eternal peril waits for thee
who could not answer these,
my questions three

[interlude]
[instrumental]

[verse 3]
your knight has failed, oh king
cast off my bridge was he
but you can try, if you shall dare
to answer me, my questions three

[verse 4]
Look, oh keeper, and you will see
I am wise and fit as king
Ask me now, and make your haste
for I shall answer thee,
your questions five (three, sir!) three

[bridge]
[spoken] what is your name? (Arthur, king of the britons)
[spoken] what is your quest? (to seek the holy grail)
[spoken] what is the maximum airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?
[spoken] (what do you mean?  an african swallow or a european swallow?)
[spoken] What? I don't know that!
[blood curdling scream] AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHH!!!


[chorus]
you kept the bridge of death
in the raging gorge beneath,
eternal peril waits for thee
who could not ask your questions three

[Outro]
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHH!
