Lyrics:

The Jester

I am the jester and the trademark is laughter
I am a jolly joker and my court is the world
I may be a bit sarcastic, overenthusiastic
Call me weird or wicked and say my mind is gnarled

Life is much too serious with war, disease, disasters
A prank, a joke, a gag to put a smile on your face
I ain’t no buffoon, you can call me the jester
A day without laughing is a total waste.

It ain’t my profession or compulsive obsession
Dispel those dark clouds, grin your black dog away
Ask yourself the question: “is it worth the depression”?
If the answer is “NO”, you better start to bray

Life can be hilarious, makes me burst out laughing
A caper, a jest, a silly joke to put a grin on your face
I ain’t no goon or no buffoon, you can call me the jester
Don’t take life too serious, just laugh it all away

Funerals, disasters, hangovers the day after
It’s all inherent in life, broken hearts, tremendous pain
Humiliation, grief and sorrow, like there’s no tomorrow
A few bumps in this road of life, time to change lane

Let your life be glorious, with lots of fun and laughter
Always time for pranks and jokes, like icing on your cake
I ain’t no fool or misfit, you can call me the jester
A day without laughter is a total waste
