The Sheriff Warns Prince John About Singing

[sheriff hums]

Sherifif: (sings when enters) He throws an angry tantrum

If he cannot have his way

He calls for Mom and sucks his thumb

And doesn't want to play

Too late to be known as John the First

He's sure to be known as John the Worst

[both snicker]

Sheriff: How about that?

Sir Hiss: That's PJ to a T. Let me try. Let me try. [clears throat] [humming musical scales] Too late to be known as John the First (Prince John, Stromboli, Syndrome and Clayton enter) He's sure to be known as John the Worst (gulps) The fabulous, marvelous, merciful, chivalrous...

Sheriff: Oh, you got it all wrong, Hiss. The snivelin', grovelin' weaselly, measly...

Clayton: What's going on here?

Sheriff: Sire, it's a big hit. The whole village is singin' it.

Prince John: Oh, they are, are they? Well, they'll be singing a different tune. Double the taxes! Triple the taxes! Squeeze every last drop out of those insolent, musical peasants.
