lyrics

I am but a jester in this courtyard
I hope you can still take me seriously
I am but a jester in this courtyard
Playin' games
Doin' tricks
Foolin' me

To the baker life’s a loaf of bread
It’s a big round cake for newlyweds
(A happy couple walks toward horizon)

To the lawyer life’s a book report
For his honor, may it please the court
("You killed an innocent man," said his family)

For the gambler life is just a game
You can fool him once but not again
(The house stays in the black for the long run)

To the driver life’s an open road
But if he breaks down, then he gets towed
(A fragile package marked for late arrival)

I am but a jester in this courtyard
I hope you can still take me seriously
I am but a jester in this courtyard
Playing games
Doing tricks
fooling me

Interlude (16 bars)

The king sleeps on a king-sized bed
With a golden crown atop his head
(God is good; He grants him his dominion)

The queen lives in a house of cards
It’s patrolled by 50,000 guards
(She demands the blood of every traitor)

The little prince can be so cruel
He sits & mocks the royal fool
(I am but a jester in this courtyard)

Princess picks one from the fan
She just adores my sleight of hand
(Greets the mornin sun with a smile)

I am but a jester in this courtyard
I hope you can still take me seriously
I am but a jester in this courtyard
Playing games
Doin tricks
Foolin me
