lyrics

Nine ten a big fat hen
The king speaks to his people again
One two the old brown shoe
All good words none of them true

And the jester says: Simple I may be
But you'll never make a fool of me

JESTER: How far the nearest star?
KING: Threescore miles from Reading Bazaar
JESTER: Can I get there by candlelight?
KING: Yes and back in one fortnight

And the jester says: Simple I may be
But you'll never make a fool of me

KING: What I tell you three times is true
JESTER: That's three more than I'll listen to you
Cause water's water if twenty men call it wine
And time was time before anyone named it "time"

Hear ye the king's decree
Hang the jester from a tree
But he was on horseback by dark of night
Out of town before first light

And a note said: Simple I may be
But you'll never make a fool of me

KING: What I tell you three times is true
JESTER: That's three more than I'll listen to you
Cause water's water if twenty men call it wine
And time was time before anyone named it "time"
