Champion!

A Dramatic Dialogue

Champion Today we have the bad news.
Today we have the sad news.
Today we have the dreaded news.
I fear to tell youse, for am I so sick:
But Sir Winston Cuckoo is dead -
... dead with holes in him!
Chorus boo hoo
Champion With all mine five ribs do I grieve!
So weep ye for old Winston
Whose dark days shone in 18 ninety 7
For ... all I see now is holes, in him
And maggots up his widely-sniffing nose.
Chorus Poor Winston Poor old Winston
Champion We acknowledged him (sob)
---Winny Apple Less---
And now to sing his funeral song

musical notation

Chorus "Little Winnie's dead
So shove him in the coffin
For you dont get the chance
Of a funeral often."
The Mourners Encore!

So hurry up and bury him
Bear him off to Heaven
To be eaten by the seraphim."
The Mourners Encore!
