Lyrics
Jester has a big mouth,
And doesnt know what hes saying,
Rexx has got the fumbling hands
And doesnt know what hes playing!
It certain to show that its time to go
Weve reached the end of our minstrel show
So dig in your pockets, a coin to throw
For weve got to be away-ing!
The sun is a-setting,
Its gone past the horizon
The stars are twinkling,
And the moon will soon be rising
It certain to show that its time to go
Weve reached the end of our minstrel show
So dig in your pockets, a coin to throw
For weve got to be away-ing!
Weve entertained you, one and all
Youre fed up with all our singing
Weve got to hit the trail again,
This bird must soon be winging
It certain to show that its time to go
Weve reached the end of our minstrel show
So dig in your pockets, a coin to throw
For weve got to be away-ing!
