Gypsies in the Palace - Jimmy Buffett 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



Hello? 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
