The Fool
© 2005 Michael Taub/Nigel Quin
Verse 1
Who, likely thinks that I'm the fool?
A stringless puppet, the jester's tool
Performing feats on banquet nights
To help fulfil the queens delights
Verse 2
Who, likely thinks that I’m the fool?
While breaking saucers, and juggling rules
The silent mimes in royal wings
Who await a chance to court for king
Bridge 1
Our names announced, at the finest balls
The trumpets play, my duty calls
Bridge 2
At your side I’m flaunted as the crown
But then you stow me on your shelf
When there are no subjects around
Verse 3
Who, likely thinks that I’m the fool?
For parting ways, from royal jewels
Escaping walls that masked the sun
I can now see a new day’s begun
Who, likely thinks that I’m the fool?
