The one eyed jester skips and turns As he makes his way through the crowd

While the tavern's royalty try not to laugh aloud... 

    Am     Dm     G     Am       F          G      Am 
The jester does another spin And then falls to the floor 
  Am      Dm       G         Am      F        G         Am 
A show of hands, a short "Hurrah!" A plea for him to do more...

    Am      Dm     G      Am         F             G      Am 
The king he sits upon his throne The worlds weight on his chest 
Am        Dm     G       Am          F      G       Am 
When your mind begins to race you've got no time to rest
