King Of Fools - Dennis De Young

Do you see them there with their finery and jewels

They’re gonna find some freak and crown him king of fools

From the poor and oppressed

They’re gonna pick the ugliest

And make him the king

But don’t be fooled by their generosity

It’s just a dirty trick by the aristocracy

Ya see they want somebody who

They can mock and ridicule

Someone like you, and me, but especially you

Who’ll be the king of fools

Who’ll be the king of fools

Could it be me or you

King of fools

King of fools

Keep your fingers light for it’s time to confiscate

For a pocked picked puts a sausage on the plate

Besides, the rich and velvet clad

Are just waiting to be had

So deservedly

God damn these gypsies

They’re demons from Satan’s lair

They’ll move right in

Then there goes the town and square

First they’ll amuse you and smile then they’ll steal you blind

Cause given have a chance

You know they’re gonna breed like rats

Then voila you’ll see

There goes our ethnic purity

Who’ll be the king of fools

Who’ll be the king of fools

His ugliness always rules

King of fools

King of fools

Today’s the day

We celebrate the feast

And worship not the beauty

But the beast

So if people gasp in shock

Cause your face could stop a clock

Step right this way

Who’ll be the king of fools

Who’ll be the king of fools

His ugliness always rules

King of fools

King of fools
