Sound the trumpets for the princess and her fool
|
A joke, a jester just to make her smile
|
Silver bells on his hat and on his pointed shoes
|
Tears rolling down his cheeks
|
As he dances in the aisles
|
|
Watch the little funny man stand on his head
|
Watch the silly minstral with his empty arms spread
|
His life hanging by a thread
|
|
The joker's wild
|
Can't you see by his eyes
|
The joker's wild
|
Can't you see through his disguise
|
The joker's wild about you
|
|
Watch him juggle on one foot
|
Maybe a riddle for a damsel in distress
|
He's just a clown in a court of thieves
|
Who conspire for a kiss
|
It's off with his head dare he show his loneliness
|
|
Watch the little funny man walk on his hands
|
See the little princess laugh as hard as she can
|
Her every wish is his command
|
|
The joker's wild
|
Can't you see by his eyes
|
The joker's wild
|
Can't you see through his disguise
|
The joker's wild about you
|
|
Watch the little funny man stand on his head
|
Watch the silly minstral with his empty arms spread
|
His life hanging by a thread
|
|
The joker's wild
|
Can't you see by his eyes
|
The joker's wild
|
Can't you see through his disguise
|
The joker's wild about you
|
