Tee-hee-ha-ha-aaah (Ah, ha-ha-ha-haaa hee hee)

Ree-uh lai zayshun dawns (uh ah)

as the bell tolls (Ding-ding!)

I scratch myself on the head (uh ah)

wondering where I've gone wrong (hey hey!)

It's not even remotely funny; (ha ha!)

people used to smile! (ney ney!)

Now I consider myself lucky

if they cast a sinister look (Ah, ha-ha-ha-haaa)

I'm the jester (He's the jester!)

and the joke's on me (The joke's on him!)

I ran fresh outta jokes! Ouch! (He ran fresh outta jokes!)

Yeah, I should come up with something new! (Ooh-ah ah, ey-hey!)

See, I was their favorite! (ah ya)

number one laughing stock! (hu ha!)

rejected by the masses (ya ya)

nobody could touch me! (oh no no no)

nobody could beat me!

without flashing a smile (ah ha!)

[Hook:](Ah, ha-ha-ha-haaa)

Used to be a jester

and I'm rising through the ranks

They call me the Prince (of Clowns!)

Yeah the dah duh joke's on me! (The joke's on him, ahah!)

Each page of my book, ripped to shreds! (Torn!)

Reduced to ashes! (Burn!)

Lost in history (Oof!)

[Hook:](Oh, oh, oh - hey, ey, tee-hee-hee haaa!)

I gotta admit

There's pain, feelings (Go on)

stashed away

into a place you never knew

and where you'll never go

A sanctuary of my own! (Oh?)

There's no better hiding spot

than the bottomless depths of my heart!

(ahh-ahhh)

Yeah

all hail the king! (Our king!)

I get to pull all the strings

of my jesters and princes, of my jesters and princes

with a smile, 'coz I know where they've been

In fact, I'm still here (Hey-hey!)

Sittin' on a painful thorny throne

Right on top of tee-hee juh-jah-joke

and I get thrown off a cliff, by a crowd or two

just to claw my way back up, still fresh out of material (Material)

I'm still fresh out of material! (Ah, ah-ha tee-hee-heeee)

Your highness, I'll dance and sing.

Cha-cha cha to your every whim (Ah ha hey!)

With masks glued to our faces

I'm sure this is leading some-where (Ohhhh-ahhhh eeee)

(Ohhh?) Some punchline or joke?

Oh well, maybe tomorrow! (Ta - daaa - oh oh!)

[Royalty,Heir] (Hey you! Stop singing into that broom!)

[Royalty,Heir] (Now come here, I need to rest my feet on your back.)

Oh, uh, yes, sir! Coming right away, tee-heee!
