Song 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 chalice.
Oh, 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 it!"

So 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 own

Look 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 time

We`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 tonight

There`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 proud

We`re gypsies in the palace, there ain`t no wrong or right
We`re gypsies in the palace, and a` goin` wild tonight

He`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 wine

We`re gypsies in the palace, there ain`t no wrong or right
We`re gypsies in the palace, and we`re raisin` hell tonight

Hi 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 town

Hi 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 call

We`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 tonight
