Once a mighty swordsman camped by the city gate
Under the shade of a tum-tum tree
Was wailing as he asked them to pull the portcullis up,
"Please come and rescue the Dragon with me."
Chorus:
Rescue the Dragon, Rescue the Dragon,
Please come and rescue the Dragon with me,
and he wailed as he asked them to open the portcullis up
Please come and rescue the Dragon with me.
So up went the portcullis and in the mighty swordsman came
Who spoke to the Guards numb'ring twenty-three
"I'm coming here to rescue the best friend I've ever had,
Please come and rescue the Dragon with me."
Chorus:
Yes he came there to rescue the best friend he ever had
The Guards listened closely to the mighty swordman's tale
And then they conferred very quietly
They debated then decided to with the mighty swordsman cry,
"Please come and rescue the Dragon with me."
Chorus:
So the Guards they decided to with the mighty swordsman cry
So the mighty swordsman and the Guards from city gate
Wandered around searching aimlessly
And the citizens did join them when they heard their plaintive cry,
"Please come and rescue the Dragon with me."
Chorus:
Yes the citizens did join them when they heard the plaintive cry
The mob kept on hunting until a lovely princess came,
She said "The Dragon's in with the King you see,
Each has threatened the other to steal their treasure trove away,
Please come and rescue the Dragon with me."
Chorus:
Each has threatened the other to steal their treasure trove away
So the mighty swordsman went bursting in the castle, shouting,
"Please can't we settle this peacefully!"
And his words they were heard by Dragon, mob, and Royalty,
And that day was rescued a Dragon by he.
Rescue the Dragon, Rescue the Dragon,
Please come and rescue the Dragon with me
So the swordsman and Dragon ended this tale happily,
Please come and rescue the Dragon with me.
(spoken) Now as for the Princess, that's a story for another day.

Once a mighty swordsman camped by the city gate

Chorus:
Rescue the Dragon, Rescue the Dragon,
Please come and rescue the Dragon with me,
and he wailed as he asked them to open the portcullis up
Please come and rescue the Dragon with me.

Who spoke to the Guards numb'ring twenty-three
"I'm coming here to rescue the best friend I've ever had,
Please come and rescue the Dragon with me."
Chorus:
Yes he came there to rescue the best friend he ever had
The Guards listened closely to the mighty swordman's tale
They grinned at the tale rather nastily
so they followed him around and taunted him at every turn,
"Please come and rescue the Dragon with me."
Chorus:
So they followed him around and taunted him at every turn
So the mighty swordsman was running from the City Guard
And still did he shout desperate-i-ly
But the citizens took up the chase when they heard that odd request,
"Please come and rescue the Dragon with me."
Chorus:
The citizens took up the chase when they heard that odd request
The mob kept on hunting until a lovely princess came,
She said "The Dragon's in with the King you see,
The King has accused the Dragon as a poker cheat,
Please come and rescue the Dragon with me."
Chorus:
The King has accused the Dragon as a poker cheat
The citizens and Guardsmen did not heed her sad concerns
And chased the lovely princess til half past three
Until the mighty swordsman came to aid the princess fair
"Please come and rescue the Dragon with me."
Chorus:
Until the mighty swordsman came to aid the princess fair
So they ran til they both went bursting in the castle, shouting,
"Please can't we settle this peacefully!"
And his words they were heard by Dragon, mob, and Royalty,
And that day was rescued a Dragon by he.
Rescue the Dragon, Rescue the Dragon,
Please come and rescue the Dragon with me.
So the Swordsman and the Princess and the Dragon went off happily,
Please come and rescue the Dragon with me.
