Jester - Martin Short

I would rejoice

At the top of my voice

I’d be a true warlock

But I had no choice

My sister was frightful

And spitefully made me a clown

I found my one pleasure

That beautiful treasure

So far beyond measure to me

And my only reason to be

Is to touch

And hold

And feel

It’s power so sweet and so real

I shall possess

My one happiness

The power I covet

And who wouldn’t love it

Would you

Now would you dare try me

And would you deny me what’s mine

Well, now that’s a punch line

On with the show

For I’m on a roll

And now I’m the star

The stage I control

I guess you’d have guessed

A jester must jest

When I laugh alone

It is I who laughs best
