Narrator: There once was a village named Bohemia. You might have heard of it. No? It's very famous. For what you ask? Their Sheep Shearing festivals. Yes, their sheep shearing festivals. All of the shepherds and shepherdesses came from everywhere to celebrate sheep shearing.
Villagers: (To the tune of Chim Chiminy) Sheep Sheep Sheep Sheep. Sheep Sheep Sheep Sheep Sheep Sheep Sheep Sheep.Sheep Shearing Sheep Shearing Sheep Shearing Now.
Narrator: They're a little crazy. Back to our story. Now at the sheep shearing festival in 1756 a statue was installed in the middle of the square in Bohemia. In 1759 it came alive.
Villagers: Alive?
Narrator: Yes, ALIVE. It rampaged through the town screaming
Florizel: Down with the sheep shearing! Down with the sheep shearing.
Narrator: Oh, I forgot to tell you her name.Floizel.
Florizel: Down with the sheep shearing! Down with the sheep shearing.
Narrator: ENOUGH!!!! Eventually Florizel ran off into the woods.
Florizel: Down with the sheep shearing! Down with the sheep shearing.
Narrator: STOP!! When Florizel was about halfway through the woods she came upon a hungry bear named Polixenes.
Polixenes: I'm Hungry!
Narrator: He tried to eat Florizel but since she was made of stone, he couldn't.
Polixenes: I've eaten my three hundred and eighty three wives because I was hungry. I can't eat you because you're made of stone. Will you marry me?
Florizel: Let's Elope! Down with the sheep shearing! Down with the sheep shearing.
Narrator: So that's what they did. After their honeymoon they came back to Bohemia.
Polixenes: Turn me into a stature to so I will always be with my wife and never hungry.
Narrator: The villagers were more than happy to agree and turned him into a statue. And they still stand there. But villagers say that on dark cold nights you can hear them saying.
Florizel: Down with the sheep shearing! Down with the sheep shearing.
Polixenes: I'm Hungry!
Florizel: Down with the sheep shearing! Down with the sheep shearing.
Narrator: I don't get paid enough for this.
