King Of Fools

(album: The Hunchback Of Notre Dame - 1996)

Now listen and learn for there's more here than meets the eye

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
