Pick up your fiddle get to the floor 
stomp your foot say gimme more

play it again now,  
no I can't - yes I could 
no I can't - yes I could 
no I can't - yest I could....

He was super confident, because he had mastered this trick.
It was one of his specialties, his name was Balancing Nick.

The king was not impressed, he rolled his hazel eyes instead.
Then he said in a most severe voice “Off with his head!”
The maids in waiting were astounded. They stopped tittering now.
