《The Maladjusted Jester》歌词

[00:00:00] The Maladjusted Jester - Danny Kaye

[00:00:00] I am prepared to make a statement

[00:00:04] When I was a lad I was gloomy and sad

[00:00:06] And I was from the day I was born

[00:00:08] When other lads giggled and gurgled and wiggled

[00:00:09] I proudly was loudly forlorn

[00:00:11] My friends and my family looked at me clammily

[00:00:13] Thought there was something amiss

[00:00:15] When others found various antics hilarious

[00:00:17] All I could manage was this

[00:00:19] Or this he he

[00:00:20] Or this ho ho

[00:00:20] Or this waahhh

[00:00:23] My father he shouted he needs to be clouted

[00:00:24] His teeth on a wreath I'll hand him

[00:00:26] My mother she cried as she rushed to my side

[00:00:28] You re a brute and you don't understand him

[00:00:30] So they send for a witch with a terrible twitch

[00:00:31] To ask how my future impressed her

[00:00:33] She took one look at me and cried

[00:00:35] He he he he he he

[00:00:37] He he he he

[00:00:39] What else could he be but a jester

[00:00:42] A jester a jester a funny idea a jester

[00:00:46] No butcher no baker no candlestick maker

[00:00:48] And me with the look of a fine undertaker

[00:00:50] Impressed her

[00:00:51] As a jester

[00:00:53] Now where could I learn any comical turn

[00:00:55] That was not in a book on the shelf

[00:00:57] No teacher to take me and mold me and make me

[00:00:59] A merryman fool or an elf

[00:01:01] But I'm proud to recall that in no time at all

[00:01:02] With no other recourses but my own resources

[00:01:04] With firm application and determination

[00:01:08] I made a fool of myself

[00:01:15] I found a bow and arrow and I learned to shoot

[00:01:17] I bought a little a horn and I learned to toot

[00:01:18] Now I can shoot and toot ain't that cute

[00:01:27] I started to travel to try to unravel

[00:01:29] My mind and to find a new chance

[00:01:30] When I got to Spain it was suddenly plain

[00:01:32] That the field that appealed was the dance

[00:01:34] The Spanish were clannish but I wouldn't vanish

[00:01:36] I learned every step they had planned

[00:01:38] The first step of all isn't hard to recall

[00:01:40] 'Cause the first step of all is to stand

[00:01:43] And stand

[00:01:45] And stand

[00:01:46] And stand

[00:02:28] I was badly injured but king was amused

[00:02:31] That before a siesta he made me his jester

[00:02:33] And I found out soon that to be a buffoon

[00:02:35] Was a serious thing as a rule

[00:02:37] For a jester's chief employment

[00:02:38] Is to kill himself for your enjoyment

[00:02:40] And a jester unemployed is nobody's fool
