"The Jester And The Queen" lyrics

She's a lady, prim and proper baby
He's all bells and goes a little crazy
No matter where she goes, sees him on the daily
Something 'bout him has her in a daydream

The ladies of the court try to tell her no
A Jester and a Queen, it can't be so, oh
It's not allowed
'Cause he's a joker and she's the crown

The Jester and the Queen, fool and royalty
Forbidden love, a match never meant to be
She's practical, he's irrational
Unlikely love, the Jester and the Queen

Let me set the scene: she's at the table
A royal feast and he's there as he juggles
They lock eyes and she makes him unstable
Now he's blushing for the queen he's gonna fall (Oh)

They know it's reckless, they cannot be
A dangerous game, so bittersweet
'Cause it's not allowed
Oh, he's a jester and she's the crown

The Jester and the Queen, fool and royalty
Forbidden love, a match never meant to be
She's practical, he's irrational
Unlikely love, the Jester and the Queen

La-la, la-la
La-la, la-la
La-la, la-la, la-la
La-la, la-la
La-la, la-la
La-la, la-la
La-la, la-la, la-la

She wakes up to a note that's been slipped under her door
Before she even opens it, she know just what it's for
It says, "Meet me in the moonlight under the oak
I'll be there waiting as the clock strikes twelve"
Finds her feet moving in the shadows
What's the point in fighting a long lost war?

The Jester and the Queen, fool and royalty
Forbidden love, a match never meant to be
She's practical, he's irrational
Unlikely love, the Jester and the Queen

Oh, baby, fool and royalty
Forbidden love, a match never meant to be
She's practical, he's irrational
Unlikely love, the Jester and the Queen
