Robert Johnson Howard - A Jester Is No Fool Lyrics

I 'm jestful servant on a tightrope I crusade
These motley clothes a symbol of the nature of my trade
I am insightful I'm the tamer of the shrew
I'm a fool that speak wisely of the foolish thing's men do

I will take my chances as I bring them along
I can make advance when they don't know right from wrong.

The realm must be protected never to betray
I speak my mind quite clearly and that's more than you can say
I am the court jester they mock and ridicule
But the king takes heed of what I say cause a jester is no fool

The ladies are in waiting, their choices are few
They live anticipating the lives they think they're due
I bow to kings and princes, my stories they amuse
I jest with all the nobles, take care who I abuse

I will take my chances as I bring them along
I can make advance when they don't know right from wrong

The realm must be protected never to betray
I speak my mind quite clearly and that's more than you can say
I am the court jester they mock and ridicule
But the king takes heed of what I say cause a jester is no fool

I have humble beginnings, many realms I did roam
Chance defined my destiny as I joined this noble home
I speak for the common, the deserve a righteous reign
If I can change nobility, I'll not have lived in vein

I will take my chances as I bring them along
I can make advance when they don't know right from wrong

The realm must be protected never to betray
I speak my mind quite clearly and that's more than you can say
I am the court jester they mock and ridicule
But the king takes heed of what I say cause a jester is no fool

What do you want from me, I am here on bended knee
Seeds of wisdom I have sewn
You have all my empathy, I will give my life to thee
I have no designs upon your throne

The realm must be protected never to betray
I speak my mind quite clearly and that's more than you can say
I am the court jester they mock and ridicule
But the king takes heed of what I say cause a jester is no fool

I am the court jester they mock and ridicule
But the king takes heed of what I say cause a jester is no fool
A jester is no fool, A jester is no fool, A jester is no fool
