Barber’s Song / Golden Helmet of Mambrino Lyrics by Gino Conforti, Richard Kiley, Irving Jacobson

Man of La Mancha

0

[BARBER]
Oh, I am a little barber
And I go my merry way
With my razor and my basin
I can always earn my pay
Though your skin be smooth as satin
You will need me soon I know
For the Lord protects His barbers
And He makes the stubble grow
If I slip while I am shaving you
And cut you to the quick
You can use me as a doctor
For I also heal the sick
[DON QUIXOTE, spoken]
Hand it over!
[BARBER, spoken]
But this is nothing but a shaving basin!
[DON QUIXOTE, spoken]
Shaving basin! Dost not know what this really is?
(sung)
Thou Golden Helmet of Mambrino
With so illustrious a past
Too long hast thou been lost to glory
Thou art rediscovered now at last!
Golden Helmet of Mambrino
There can be no hat like thee!
Thee and I now, 'ere I die now
Will make golden history!
[BARBER]
I can hear the cuckoo singing
In the cuckooberry tree
[SANCHO]
If he says that that's a helmet
I suggest that you agree
[BARBER]
But he'll find it is not gold
And will not make him bold and brave
[SANCHO]
Well, at least he'll find it useful
If he ever needs a shave!
[DON QUIXOTE]
Thou Golden Helmet of Mambrino
Thy deeds the world will not forget
Now Don Quixote de La Mancha
Will bring thee greater glory yet!
[DON QUIXOTE, BARBER, SANCHO & MULETEERS]
Golden Helmet of Mambrino
There can be no hat like thee!
[DON QUIXOTE]
Thee and I now, 'ere I die now
Will make golden history!
[BARBER, SANCHO & MULETEERS]
Golden Helmet of Mambrino
Will make golden history!
