Lyrics Jester - Martin Short

Jester

I would rejoice
At the top of my voice
I’d be a true warlock
But I had no choice
My sister was frightful
And spitefully made me a clown
I found my one pleasure
That beautiful treasure
So far beyond measure to me
And my only reason to be
Is to touch
And hold
And feel
It’s power so sweet and so real
I shall possess
My one happiness
The power I covet
And who wouldn’t love it
Would you
Now would you dare try me
And would you deny me what’s mine
Well, now that’s a punch line
On with the show
For I’m on a roll
And now I’m the star
The stage I control
I guess you’d have guessed
A jester must jest
When I laugh alone
It is I who laughs best
