Just The Jester Fool Lyrics - Ellis Paul

(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 belo 

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
