We're now...we're now going to take you to the battlefield.

This is called Ogre Battle.

Oooh, watch out!

# The ogre men are still inside the two-way mirror mountain

# Gotta keep down right out of sight

# You can't see in but they can see out

# Keep a look out

# The ogre-men are coming out of the two-way mirror mountain

# They're running up behind you and they're coming all about

# Can't go east cos you gotta go south

# Ogre-men are going home and the great big fight is over

# Bugle blow, the trumpet cry

Right now, right now,

Queen would like to drink a special Christmas toast

to everybody here and all the viewers. So, cheers!

CHEERING

Ha-ha-ha!

OK, darlings, this is a little, delicate little number

called White Queen.

CHEERING

# So sad

# Her eyes

# Smiling

# Dark eyes

# So sad

# Her eyes

# As it

# Began

# On

# On such a breathless night as this

# Upon my brow the lightest kiss

# I walked alone

# And all around the air did say

# My lady soon will stir this way

# In sorrow known

# The white queen walks and the night grows pale

# Stars of lovingness in her hair

# Needing

# Unheard

# Pleading

# One word

# So sad her eyes

# She cannot see, oh

# How did thee fare, what have thee seen?

# The mother of the willow green

# I call her name

# And 'neath her window have I stayed

# I loved the footsteps that she made

# And when she came

# White queen, how my heart did ache

# And dry my lips no words can make

# Still I wait

# My goddess hear my darkest fear

# I speak too late

# It's for evermore

# That I wait

# Dear friend

# Goodbye

# No tear

# In my eyes

# So sad

# It ends

# As it began. #

CHEERING

Now then, we're going to do a nice tasty little medley for you...

CHEERING

..just like one we did the other day, yes,

and we're going to start off with a little segment

from a number called Bohemian Rhapsody.

# Mama, just killed a man

# Put a gun against his head

# Pulled my trigger, now he's dead

# Mama, life had just begun

# But now I've gone and thrown it all away

# Mama, ooh-ooh-ooh

# Didn't mean to make you cry

# If I'm not back again this time tomorrow

# Carry on, carry on

# Nothing really matters

# Too late my time has come

# Sends shivers down my spine

# Body's aching all the time

# Goodbye, everybody

# I've got to go

# Got to leave you all behind to face the truth

# Mama, ooh-ooh-ooh

# I don't wanna die

# Sometimes wish I'd never been born at all

# Oh

# She keeps Moet & Chandon in a pretty cabinet

# Gunpowder, gelatine

# Dynamite with a laser beam

# For cars she couldn't care less

# Fastidious, precise

Thanks a lot.

Thanks a lot. It's been really like a party here tonight.

Thanks a lot for making it really something for us,

it's felt a lot different.

We've taken our show around the world,

but we've never got to so many people at once.

And it's felt really good.

Thanks a lot for giving us a good year.

We'd like to leave you In The Lap Of The Gods.

# It's so easy

# But I can't do it

# It's so risky

# But I gotta chance it

# So funny

# There's nothing to laugh about

# My money

# That's all you want to talk about

# I can see what you

# Want me to be

# But that's not true

# It's in the lap of the gods

# Wo wo la la la

# I can see

# What you want

# Me to be

# I'm no fool

# There's no beginning

# There's no ending

# There's no meaning in my pretending

# Believe me life goes on and on and on

# Forgive me when I ask you where do I belong?

# You say I can never

# Set you free

# But that's not true

# It's in the lap of the gods

# Wo wo la la la

# Wo wo wo la la-a-a

# Wo wo wooh

# I'm no fool

# It's in the lap of the gods
