Stan Freberg - St. George and the Dragonet (Themes From Dragnet) Lyrics

The legend you are about to hear is true
Only the needle should be changed to protect the record

This is the countryside
My name is St. George
I'm a knight
Saturday, July 10th. 8:05 pm
I was working out of the castle on the nightwatch
When a call came in from the Chief
A dragon had been devouring maidens
Homicide. My job: slay him

You call me, Chief
Yes, the dragon again, devouring maidens
The King's daughter may be next

Mmm-hmm. You got a lead
Oh, nothing much to go on.
Say, did you take that .45 automatic
Into the lab to have them check on it

Yeah. You were right
I was right
Yeah. It was a gun
8:22 pm. I talked to one of the maidens
Who had almost been devoured

Could I talk to you, Ma'am
Who are you
I'm St. George, Ma'am
Homicide, Ma'am
Want to ask you a few questions, Ma'am
I understand you were almost devoured by the dragon, Ma'am
Is that right, dragon

It was terrible.
He breathed fire on me
He burned me already

How can I be sure of that, Ma'am
Believe me, I got it straight from the dragon's mouth
11:45 pm. I rode over the King's Highway.
I saw a man. Stopped to talk to him
Pardon me, Sir
