Fools' Fandango

Hey now, gather round the firelight glow, spin the tale of fools we all know. Big hats wear the shiny gold chains, talking tall while hiding their pains. Pockets full from tricks in the night, promising dreams, stealing the light. They dance on stages, wave empty hands, building tall towers on shifting sands. Oh the mayor with his fancy new ride says he's for the people but full of operators. The port-a-feast, like a king we clap and we cheer. What a funny thing lady in silk nose up in the air conception from mud pretends she's so rare. Aye, aye, aye, stomp your feet high. Aye, aye, aye, laugh till you cry. Tap, tap, spin round, let the truth fly. Aye, aye, aye, fools in disguise. Round and round the merry-go-loud, chasing shadows under the sky. Grinning wide at the grand charades, social circus, ain't it a parade? Hey ho, hey ho, join the fun, satires dancing, everyone. Banker counts coins with a serpent smile lends to the needy then takes it in style. Preacher on pulpit, eyes on the plate, these souls for silver, seals their fate. They strut like peacocks, feathers so fine, but underneath just rags and twine. Thread the world from her squeaky chair, mirrors cracked, but she don't care. Kids on the corner selling their shine, dreaming of riches, losing their time. Aye, aye, aye, feet hit the ground. Aye, aye, aye, joy all around. Clap, clap, turn fast, shake the crown. Aye, aye, aye, bring it down. Round and round the merry-go-loud, chasing shadows under the sky. Grinning wide at the grand charades, social circus, ain't it a parade? Hey ho, hey ho, join the fun, satires dancing, everyone. So lift your voice in the joyful call, mock the mighty, watch them all fall. Hey ho, the laughter won't in this wild spin. We're all just friends. Aye, aye, aye, feet hit the ground. Aye, aye, aye, joy all around. Clap, clap, turn fast, shake the crown. Aye, aye, aye, bring it down. Round and round the merry-go-loud, chasing shadows under the sky. Hey ho, hey ho, join the fun, satires dancing, everyone. So lift your voice in the joyful call, mock the mighty, watch them all fall. Hey ho, the laughter won't in this wild spin.
