(tune:  Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer)
 
Merlin, the bright-eyed wizard,
Had a very shiny wand.
And if he ever used it,
A snake would turn into a swan.
 
All of the Royal Knights
Used to call upon his power,
To get them out of trouble
And save the damsel in the tower.
 
Then one misty, stormy night,
Arthur came to say,
"Merlin with your wand so bright,
Won't you slay the dragon tonight?"
 
Then how the King's court praised him,
They gave him lots of cookies and tea.
Merlin, the bright-eyed wizard,
He'll go down in history.
