Jester's Day

The hall is cleaned, all beggars gone — a thousand candles ban the dawn
And may the world will tumble and fall — they’ve come to town on the royal call
A whistle blow, I’m gonna start my own show
Take me to the king, take me to the light
Take me to the place where I turn wrong to right
To break the rule, let them call me fool
Troubles away at Jester’s day
The overburdened tables sway — (No time to care for judgment day)
So dance and sing the night away — (Confss this night another day)
The noble Sires got a heart of gold — bones and crumbs for the crippled and old
Let red wine flow, yours private fool — head to toe
Take me to the king, take me to the light
Take me to the place where I turn wrong to right
To break the rule, let them call me fool
Troubles away at Jester’s day
A magic trick, a sleight-of-hand
Songs for the maids — jokes for the men
The juggler’s here to make a stand
Jingle jangle 'till the end
And as the lights go down, I can see
Drunken kings looking at me
I take my pay and leave this place — smile on my face
Take me to the king, take me to the light
Take me to the place where I turn wrong to right
To break the rule, let them call me fool
Troubles away at Jester’s day
Take me to the king, take me to the light…
