Tribute To the Jester

You tango, you twirl in tangerine tails, With ragged red’n’black blouse and shoes Little leather flimsy flopsy boots with dinky tink balls, Balls that ding a ling to amuse The crowd's at the court in front of the king, Your mandolin plays a short song, A song that brings smiles to everyone’s eyes, Making everyone sing right along And then you swing your motley cap’n’bell hat, Beaded bells all bounce to a beat As you juggle and joke and tell a beautiful story, Your magic’s an invisible discrete. Everyone’s happy when you perform for the king, Everyone loves you in town You're the king’s street performer in red and black stripes, His jester, his fool, you’re his clown.
