The Dubbing

INNKEEPER: spoken

Don Quixote de la Mancha, having proven yourself this day in terrible and glorious combat, and by my authority as lord of this castle, I hearby dub thee Knight.

 

DON QUIXOTE: spoken

But, your Lordship...

 

INNKEEPER: spoken

Didn't I do it right?

 

DON QUIXOTE: spoken

Well, it is customary to grant the knight an added name...

 

INNKEEPER:

Hmmm...
Hail, Knight of the Woeful Countenance,
Knight of the Woeful Countenance.
Wherever you go,
people will know
of the glorious deeds
of the Knight of the Woeful Countenance.

 

Farewell and good cheer,
oh, my brave cavalier,
fight onward to glorious strife.
I swear when you're gone
I'll remember you well
for all of the rest of my life.

 

Hail, Knight of the Woeful Countenance,
Knight of the Woeful Countenance.
Wherever you go,
faced with a foe,
they will quail at the sight
of the Knight of Woeful Countenance.

 

Oh, valorous knight,
go and fight for the right,
and battle all villains that be,
but oh, when you do,
what will happen to you,
thank God, I won't be there to see.

 

ALL:

Hail, Knight of the Woeful Countenance,
Knight of the Woeful Countenance.
Where ever you go,
people will know
of the glorious deeds
of the Knight of the Woeful Countenance.
