The Malad Justed Jester - Danny Kaye[00:00:00]
Your majesty I have a confession[00:00:00]
My secret have a slow betray[00:00:04]
I was not a born fool[00:00:11]
It took work to get this way[00:00:17]
When I was a lad I was gloomy and sad[00:00:24]
And I was from the day I was born[00:00:25]
When other lads giggled and gurgled and wiggled[00:00:27]
I proudly was loudly forlorn[00:00:29]
My friends and my family looked at me clammily[00:00:31]
Thought there was something amiss[00:00:33]
When others found various antics hilarious[00:00:34]
All I could manage was this ho ho[00:00:36]
Or this ho waahhh[00:00:38]
My father he shouted he needs to be clouted[00:00:41]
His teeth on a wreath I'll hand him[00:00:42]
My mother she cried as she rushed to my side[00:00:44]
You re a brute and you don't understand him[00:00:46]
So they send for a witch with a terrible twitch[00:00:48]
To ask how my future impressed her[00:00:49]
She took one look at me and cried hehehehehe he [00:00:51]
What else could he be but a jester [00:00:57]
A jester a jester a funny idea a jester[00:00:59]
No butcher no baker no candlestick maker[00:01:03]
And me with the look of a fine undertaker[00:01:05]
Impressed her as a jester [00:01:07]
Now where could I learn any comical turn[00:01:11]
That was not in a book on the shelf[00:01:12]
No teacher to take me and mold me and make me[00:01:14]
A merryman fool or an elf[00:01:16]
But I'm proud to recall that in no time at all[00:01:18]
With no other recourses but my own resources[00:01:20]
With firm application and determination[00:01:21]
I made a fool of myself [00:01:25]
I bought a little gun and I learned to shoot[00:01:32]
I bought a little a horn and I learned to toot[00:01:34]
Now I can shoot and toot ain't that cute Plbbt [00:01:35]
I started to travel to try to unravel[00:01:45]
My mind and to find a new chance[00:01:46]
When I got to Spain it was suddenly plain[00:01:49]
That the field that appealed was the dance[00:01:50]
The Spanish were clannish but I wouldn't vanish[00:01:52]
I learned every step they had planned[00:01:54]
The first step of all isn't hard to recall[00:01:55]
Cause the first step of all is to stand[00:01:57]
And stand[00:02:00]
And stand and stand and stand and stand and[00:02:01]
They sometimes stand this way for days[00:02:07]
Then they get very mad[00:02:10]
At the floor and start to stomp on it[00:02:11]
(Smash Ow )[00:02:14]
After all of my practice the terrible fact is[00:02:23]
I made a fool of myself[00:02:28]
I sadly decided that dancing as I did[00:02:35]
To sing was a thing that was sure[00:02:37]
I found me a teacher a crotchety creature[00:02:39]
Who used to sing coloratura[00:02:40]
She twisted my chin pushed my diaphragm in[00:02:42]
With a poker she vocalized me[00:02:44]
When she said it was best that I threw out my chest[00:02:46]
You may gather that rather surprised me[00:02:48]
I was on solid ground till I suddenly found[00:02:50]
That in Venice I was to appear[00:02:52]
The gala locale was a choppy canal[00:02:53]
And me a high sea gondolier[00:02:54]
I nervously perched as the gondola lurched[00:02:57]
Before the King s palazzo[00:02:59]
As I started my song my voice it was strong[00:03:00]
But my stomach I fear was not so[00:03:05]
Oh solo mio oh[00:03:08]
Oh solo ooh Help [00:03:14]
When I fell overboard how his majesty roared[00:03:23]
And before a siesta he made me his jester[00:03:25]
And I found out soon that to be a buffoon[00:03:27]
Was a serious thing as a rule[00:03:29]
For a jester's chief employment[00:03:31]
Is to kill himself for your enjoyment[00:03:33]
And a jester unemployed is nobody s fool[00:03:34]
