Just the Jester Fool

(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
