Mike the Knight and the Brave Song Mike the Knight

TRUMPETS

# Mike the Knight He's a brave young hero

# Be a knight, do it right

-# He's a trainee knight But does he show fear?

-No!

# Be a knight, do it right

# There'll be trouble Double trouble

# But you know It's gonna be all right

# Cos every day is an adventure For Mike the Knight

# Be a knight, do it right... #

HE WHISTLES

# Be a knight, do it right

# With Mike the Knight! #

# I am Fernando and I love to sing

# Music is my favourite thing

# Come to my concert it will be fun

# When I play and sing for everyone

# I'll sing about flowers

# The sun and the stars

# Loaves of bread and...um... #

-MUSIC STOPS

-..fish?

No, that's not right. Let me try again.

# The sun and the stars

# And cats and dogs... #

Um... No. Maybe frogs?

-What's wrong, Fernando?

-Oh, dear! This has never happened before.

I... I can't remember my song.

Oh, no! Poor Fernando!

You can do it, Fernando, try one more time.

Yes! One more time.

# Beautiful flowers and buzzy bees

Shoes and socks and pieces of... #

..cheese?

Oh, no! This is terrible!

Tonight is my big concert and I can't remember the words to my song.

Ah, don't worry. I'm sure you'll remember by tonight.

But what if I don't? In front of all those people?

No, I just cannot do it.

Of course you can do it, Fernando.

You just need to be brave enough to try.

I'm a knight, so I know about being brave.

By the King's crown, that's it!

I'm Mike the knight,

and my mission is to make Fernando brave enough to sing!

Hee-hee-hee-hee!

# Mike the Knight! #

Oof!

# Mike the Knight! #

Ha ha ha!

Woohoo!

Hee hee!

Yee-ha!

# Mike the Knight! #

A little lute? How's that going to help me make Fernando brave?

Yes, I already have a lute. See?

Never mind, we'll make you brave enough to sing in front of everyone.

Huzzah! Then I can get back to what I love best - music!

I know all about feeling scared, Fernando.

When I forget the words to a song, I sing "doobie-doobie-doo" instead.

"Doobie-doo"? Hmm...

Yes, maybe I should sing like you.

# Doobie-doo-doo Doobie-doo-doo

THEY ALL SING: # Doobie-doo, doobie-doo! #

No! Going "doobie-doo" isn't brave.

Knights have to do all kinds of brave things.

If I show you how to do something knightly,

you'll feel brave, too. Here, Sparkie, take my spare shield.

You can be Fernando's shield carrier.

OK, Mike.

-But why am I going to need a shield?

-You'll see.

VIKINGS CHATTER

You want me to bounce a Viking?

Yes, it's one of the bravest things a knight can do.

OK, I will try anything for my music.

But I don't know how to bounce a Viking.

Oh, it's easy. I'll show you.

Come on, Vikings! Time for some bouncing!

THEY GASP Booncy, booncy!

Hey! Ho ho!

Waah! Hup! Woo-hoy!

Wha-argh!

Oh!

THEY CHATTER AND LAUGH

-See?

-You think doing THAT will make me brave enough to sing my song?

Of course.

Here's your shield, brave Fernando.

Um, how do you hold this again?

Here, hold it like this.

Maybe you could do it with me?

But you'll get brave a lot quicker if you do it on your own, Fernando.

I need to be brave in time for my concert, so if this will do it,

I will do it.

VIKINGS LAUGH AND CHATTER

Booncy!

-That's it, Fernando - be brave!

-You can do it!

Oh!

Ole!

Hey! Ugh! Oof!

Huh! Pfft! Hmph!

Did you see how brave I was?

Ooh, see if you are brave enough to sing your song.

All right!

# I am Fernando And I love to sing

# Music is my favourite thing

# Come to my concert It will be fun... #

Oh! Something, something, something.

Oh, that was even worse! I'm not brave enough yet.

That's because you're supposed to bounce the Vikings,

not get out of their way. Ah, never mind.

I'll find another brave knightly thing for you to do.

OK, Mike. I will try anything for my music.

Right, Fernando. This is called "Tame The Scary Dragon".

You have to be really brave to do this.

But Mike, Sparkie and I aren't scary.

Oh, but I can pretend, Squirt. Watch!

ROAR!

-Oh!

-Aaah!

Hee hee! Squirt, it's only Sparkie.

I suppose so.

But couldn't Fernando just sing doobie-doobie-doo?

We tried that, it didn't work.

I know, but maybe if we did a little dance with it, too, like this.

# Doobie doo, doo-doo-doo. #

-Hee hee!

-Heh heh!

No, Squirt, he just needs to be brave. Watch me, Fernando.

ROAR!

Sit, scary dragon!

-See? That's all you have to do.

-Oh, I think I could do that.

-But couldn't you and I do it together?

-No need, just be brave.

# Doobie-doo-doo I'm scary too

# Doobie-dee-doo I'm scarier than you!

# Reach for the sky Touch the floor

# Make a scary face Then give a big roar. #

-ROAR!

-Waaaah!

Waaaaaah!

Oof!

Oh, no! Fernando, are you OK?

Yes, and did you see how brave I was with that really scary dragon?

Oh, you were, Fernando.

So go on, try your song again.

Ole!

# I am Fernando and I can't remember what words to say... #

Or even remember what notes to play.

Maybe I am not so brave after all. Oh!

It's OK, Fernando.

I'll find something else knightly and brave you can do. Wait here.

This will never work. These things are not making me brave.

I must tell everyone I am not doing the concert.

No! No concert?

-But Fernando...

-No! I have made up my mind.

Aha! Jousting - perfect! Fernando?

Mike, Fernando's gone.

He's going to cancel the concert.

What? Oh, no! We've got to find him. Come on!

-Oh!

-What?

-No concert?

-It doesn't look like it, hairy Harry.

What a shame! I love Fernando's singing.

There he is!

Fernando, come back to the arena for some knightly jousting.

-That'll make you brave.

-No. There is no point.

I will never be brave enough to sing at tonight's concert.

Oh, no! Knightly things haven't made Fernando

any braver about singing at all.

It's time to be a knight and do it right!

Fernando kept asking me to do knightly things WITH HIM,

so maybe he'll feel braver if he has someone to sing with.

HE PLAYS THE LUTE

# I'm Mike the knight I'm a brave young hero

# I'm a trainee knight But do I... # Um...

# Do I... #

Go on, Mike. What's next?

I can't remember. Oh!

I'm not helping at all! Now I know how Fernando felt.

You could try my doobie-doo-doos.

-And maybe try the dance, too!

-OK!

# I'm a trainee knight Doobie-doobie-doobie doo-doo

ALL SING: # Doobie-doo doobie-doo Doobie-doo. #

Well, that's better than no words at all.

But I wish I could remember the song.

"I'm a trainee knight, but..." Um... Er...

FERNANDO PLAYS HIS LUTE

# He's a trainee knight But does he show fear? #

No!

# There'll be trouble Double trouble

BOTH: # But you know It's going to be all right

# Cos every day is an adventure For Mike the knight. #

-Ole!

-Hee hee!

I can't believe I forgot that song!

-But you singing it with me really helped.

-It helped me, too.

Now I feel brave enough to try my song. To the stage!

BOTH SING: # We are Mike and Fernando And we love to sing

# Music is our favourite thing

# Giving a concert is so much fun

# When we play and sing for everyone

# Let's sing about flowers

# The sun and the stars

# And strum on our lutes

# They're like little guitars

BOTH: # Now we are happy And so full of pride

# Cos it's fun to sing With a friend by your side. #

THEY CLAP AND CHEER

SPARKIE AND SQUIRT: # Doobie-doo-doo

# Doobie-doo-doo doobie-doo-doo. #

-Huzzah!

-Bravo!

-Hooray!

# Be a knight, do it right

# You can be a hero, too

# Never rest on a quest

# Do the best that you can do

# There'll be trouble, double trouble

# But it's gonna be all right

# Every day is an adventure for Mike the Knight. #
