Danny Michel - King of Fools

Once I was the king of the fools

And they'd buy me drinks and egg me on

But I escaped while they were asleep

'Cause I knew that they'd soon turn on me

So wake up the horses and clowns

'cause the circus is leaving this town

So lets rack up my tab and shoot me some pool

And say goodbye to the king of the fools

Once I lived in a town full of friends

Asleep at the wheel and I'd always win,

But my head was full with bourbon and bull

And I was the biggest fool of all

So wake up the horses and clowns

'cause the circus is leaving this town

So fire the band and pull up a stool

And drink to the king of the fools

Ya, and drink with the king of the fools

Oh how they'd keep me 'round

With good wine and food

'Til I was sickened by the things that I'd do

But this ship is sinking and there's nothing to do

So grab on to someone and swim like a fool

Once I was the king of the fools

Jumping through hoops trying to show the world

So break out the pitchforks and hounds

And we'll run him right out of this town

So You build the fire and I'll bring the fuel

And we'll bun that king of the fools

But here I go, off I go, down I go again
