Just The Jester Fool Lyrics

(spoken intro)

I get this message on the message machine That she`s cooking dinner
tonight So I go out and pick up a bottle of wine And when I get there I`m a
little nervous
and I run out of things to say

So I say, "I, uh, like your wooden floor boards" 
She is laying in flannel sheets
The brass bed speaks
Come on lie in me
And there I`m standing naked and meek, stalling She says lovingly... 

(chorus)
If I were the queen, and you were just the jester fool I would love you as my
king

Just because I do, I do, I do love you 

(spoken bridge)
At six am the alarm clock goes off And I realize I`m not used to looking at
this particular ceiling She taps me on the shoulder with an empty shoe and
says, "Hey, Cinderella, does this belong to you?" 

Morning out on a naked street
Old lady on the corner is staring at me
I guess she ain`t ever seen barefoot feet Or heard the words that she sung to
me
