Gypsies in the palace<br>By: jimmy buffett, glenn frey, will jennings<br>1985<br>I have heard that some of the great parties of all times have<br>Been at my house - when I wasn't there.<br>-- spoken:<br>In days of old, when knights were bold,<br>And journeyed from their castles,<br>Trusty men were left behind,<br>Knights needed not the hassles.<br>They helped themselves to pig and peach,<br>And drank from king's own chalice.<br>Oh, it was a stirring sight<br>These gypsies in the palace.<br>And some things never change. hit it boys!<br><br>So long boss, knock 'em dead, don't worry 'bout a thing<br>Wish that we could come along, we'd love to hear you sing<br>Limo's here, your bags are packed, the list is by the phone<br>Me and snake will watch your place and treat it like our own<br><br>Look at all this liquor<br>Look at all this food<br>It's only gonna go to waste<br>We're not really being rude<br>But the good stuff's in his closet, I swear he wouldn't mind<br>Hell we'll just shoot the lock off, I do it all the time<br><br>We're gypsies in the palace, he's left us here alone<br>The order of the sleepless knights will now assume the throne<br>We ain't got no money, we ain't got no right<br>But we're gypsies in the palace, we got it all tonight<br><br>There's damsels in distress out there and we got all this beer<br>We'll free them from their condos and bring 'em over here<br>We'll show them his gold records<br>We'll play his music loud<br>We'll party just like bubba does<br>We'll do the old man proud<br><br>We're gypsies in the palace, there ain't no wrong or right<br>We're gypsies in the palace, and a' goin' wild tonight<br><br>He's the greatest guy to work for, man he's really cool<br>Hey snake this party's gettin' dull, throw someone in the pool<br>Hey let's all take our clothes off and form a conga line<br>Watch out for that broken glass, hey snake we need more wine<br><br>We're gypsies in the palace, there ain't no wrong or right<br>We're gypsies in the palace, and we're raisin' hell tonight<br>Hey<br><br>Oh hi there boss, what's goin' on<br>You say you're coming when? <br>I'll send snake out to pick you up tomorrow night at ten, okay!<br>Everybody outta here, this joint is closin' down<br>We gotta find someone to clean this up, he's comin' back to town<br><br>Hi there boss we waxed your cars, we raked and mowed your lawn<br>We couldn't find enough to do in the short time you were gone<br>Man it sure is peaceful here, you've really got it all<br>If you ever hit the road again, give me and snake a call<br><br>We're gypsies in the palace, he's left us here alone<br>The order of the sleepless knights will now assume the throne<br>We ain't got no money, we ain't got no right<br>But we're gypsies in the palace, we got it all tonight<br><br>-- spoken:<br>Hey, jimmy, it's glenn<br>Glenn, how ya doin'? <br>Fine man, I'm goin' on the road.<br>Do you know anybody who could possibly house-sit for me? <br>I got these two great guys that look after my place.<br>Man, they're the best!<br><br>- notes:<br>Background vocals: jimmy buffett, glenn frey, timothy b. schmit<br>Featuring mark o'connor on fiddle
