Gypsies In the Palace Lyrics


In days of old, when knights were bold and journeyed from their castles
Trusty men were left behind, knights needed not the hassles
They helped themselves to pig and peach
And drank from King's own chaliceOh, it was a stirring sight, these gypsies in the palace
And as I told my friend Zachary Richard, when you leave home
Some things never change, hit itSo, long boss, knock 'em dead, don't you worry 'bout a thing
I wish that we could come along, we'd love to hear you sing
The limo's here, your bags are packed, the list is by the phone
Me and Snake will watch your place, treat it like our ownLook at all this liquor, look at all this food
It's only gonna go to waste, we're not really being rude
But the good stuff's in his closet, I swear he wouldn't mind
Hell, we'll just shoot the lock off, I do it all the timeWe're gypsies in the palace, he's left us here alone
The order of the sleepless knights, will now assume the throne
We ain't got no money, we ain't got no right
But we're gypsies in the palace, we got it all tonightThere's damsels in distress up there and we got all this beer
We'll free them from their condos, bring 'em over here
We'll show them his gold records, play his music loud
We'll party just like Bubba does, we'll do the old man proudWe're gypsies in the palace, there ain't no wrong or right

We're gypsies in the palace, and a' goin' wild tonightHe's the greatest guy to work for, man he's really cool
Hey Snake this party's gettin' dull, throw someone in the pool
Let's all take our clothes off and form a conga line
Watch out for that broken glass, hey Snake, we need more wineWe're gypsies in the palace, there ain't no wrong or right
We're gypsies in the palace and we're raisin' hell tonightHi there boss, what's goin' on? You say you're coming when?
I'll send Snake out to pick you up tomorrow night at ten, okay
Everybody outta here, this joint is closin' down
We gotta find someone to clean this up, he's comin' back to townHi there boss, we waxed your car, we raked and mowed your lawn
We couldn't find enough to do in the short time you were gone
Man, it sure is peaceful here, you've really got it all
And if we ever hit the road again, give me and Snake a callWe're gypsies in the palace, he's left us here alone
The order of the sleepless knights, will now assume the throne
We ain't got no money, we ain't got no right
But we're gypsies in the palace, we got it all tonightHello? Hey, Jimmy, it's Glenn, Glenn, how ya' doing?
Fine man, I'm going on the road
Do you know anyone who could house sit for me?
I got these two great guys that look after my place man, they're the best

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Jimmy Buffett (born December 25, 1946 in Pascagoula, Mississippi, United States) is a singer/songwriter, best known for his "island escapism" lifestyle and music including hits such as "Margaritaville" and "Come Monday". He has a rabid, but genial, cult following known as "Parrotheads." They call the youngest members "Parakeets."

Buffett has written three No. 1 best sellers. Tales from Margaritaville and Where Is Joe Merchant? both spent over seven months on the New York Times Best Seller fiction list. His book A Pirate Looks At Fifty went straight to No. 1 on the New York Times Bestseller non-fiction list, making him one of seven authors in that list's history to have reached No. 1 on both the fiction and non-fiction lists. The other six authors who have accomplished this are Ernest Hemingway, John Steinbeck, William Styron, Irving Wallace, Dr. Seuss and Mitch Albom. He also co-wrote two children's books, Jolly Mon and Trouble Dolls, with his eldest daughter, Savannah Jane Buffett.

"A Salty Piece of Land", was released on November 30, 2004, and included a CD single of the same title. The book was a New York Times best seller soon after its release.

His latest book, "Swine Not," hit bookshelves on May 13th. It's a colorful tale about a family that lives in a posh New York hotel while covertly smuggling in their pet pig named Rumpy.

On Jan 25, 2011, he did an unintentional stage dive whilst touring Australia. Thankfully, the good Mr. Buffett is a resilient bloke and was released from hospital the following day and doing fine.
