In the trade of jester, we’re fools that play our part.
In an act sworn by folklore, where the lines are made by heart.
Getting gold from the nobles
and mocking from yey all.
But we drink with the greatest warriors
and we dance in every hall.
We travel through the countries. We go from town to town.
We’re the sworn kings of jester. But we never worn a crown.
Getting gold from the nobles…
I never had a family. Nor have I had a wife. It’s a high cost of living.
It’s the price I pay for life.
Getting gold from the nobles…
We meet the fairest ladies but we never had a chance.
So we play our bagpipes as the common people dance.
(Play imaginary bagpipes)
To die without a nickel is a scare for anyone.
So we work until our last day and we die like common man.
Getting gold from the nobles…
