Jimmy Buffett, Glenn Frey - Gypsies in the Palace lyrics
[Jimmy Buffett, Glenn Frey - Gypsies in the Palace lyrics]
"In days of old, when knights were bold
And journeyed from their castles
Trusty men were left behind
Knights needed not the hassles
They helped themselves to pig and peach
And drank from king's own chalice
Oh, it was a stirring sight
These gypsies in the palace"
"And some things never change! Hit it boys!"
So long, boss, knock 'em dead
Don't worry 'bout a thing
Wish that we could come along
We'd love to hear you sing
Limo's here, your bags are packed
The list is by the phone
Me and Snake will watch your place
And treat it like our own
Look at all this liquor
Look at all this food
It's only gonna go to waste
We're not really being rude
But the good stuff's in his closet
I swear he wouldn't mind
Hell, we'll just shoot the lock off
I do it all the time
We're gypsies in the palace
He's left us here alone
The Order of the Sleepless Knights
Will now assume the throne
We ain't got no money, we ain't got no right
But we're gypsies in the palace and
We got it all tonight
There's damsels in distress out there and
We got all this beer
We'll free them from their condos
And bring 'em over here
We'll show them his gold records
We'll play his music loud
We'll party just like Bubba does
We'll do the old man proud
We're gypsies in the palace
There ain't no wrong or right
We're gypsies in the palace
And a-goin' wild tonight
He's the greatest guy to work for, man
He's really cool
Hey Snake, this party's gettin' dull
Throw someone in the pool
Hey, let's all take our clothes off
And form a conga line
Watch out for that broken glass, hey Snake
We need more wine
We're gypsies in the palace
There ain't no wrong or right
We're gypsies in the palace and
We're raisin' hell tonight
Oh hi there, boss, what's goin' on
You say you're coming when?
I'll send Snake out to pick you
Up tomorrow night at ten
Okay, everybody outta here
This joint is closin' down
We gotta find someone to clean this up
He's comin' back to town
Hi there boss, we waxed your cars
We raked and mowed your lawn
We couldn't find enough to do in
The short time you were gone
Man, it sure is peaceful here
You've really got it all
If you ever hit the road again
Give me and Snake a call
We're gypsies in the palace
He's left us here alone
The Order of the Sleepless Knights
Will now assume the throne
We ain't got no money, we ain't got no right
But we're gypsies in the palace and
We got it all tonight
"Hey, Jimmy, It's Glenn"
"Glenn, How ya doin'?"
"Fine man, I'm goin' on the road
Do you know anybody who could
Possibly house-sit for me?"
"I got these two great guys
That look after my place
Man, they're the best!"
And journeyed from their castles
Trusty men were left behind
Knights needed not the hassles
They helped themselves to pig and peach
And drank from king's own chalice
Oh, it was a stirring sight
These gypsies in the palace"
"And some things never change! Hit it boys!"
So long, boss, knock 'em dead
