F6            Em7                Dm7              Cmaj7
    Sound the trumpets   for the princess and her fool

F6            Em7            Esus4          E
    A joke, a jester just to make her smile

F6         Em7                  Dm7              Cmaj7
    Silver bells on his hat and on his pointed shoes

F6               Em7              Fsus4
   Tears rolling down his cheeks

                    Bb9
As he dances in the aisles

Am7                   G6                     Fmaj9    G6
     Watch the little funny man stand on his head

Am7                  G6                           Fmaj9
     Watch the silly minstrel with his empty arms spread

    Em7               Bb9
His life hanging by a thread

    G     C/G      F
The jo-   ker's   wild

D/F#                      G

Watch him juggle on one foot

F6            Em7        Fsus4        Bb9
    Maybe a riddle for a damsel in distress

Fmaj9/6                         Em7
         He's just a clown in a court of thieves

        Dm7        Cmaj7
Who conspire for a kiss

Fmaj9/6                      Em7          Fsus4              Bb9
      It?s off with his head      dare he show his lonliness


Am7                   G6                     Fmaj9    G6
     Watch the little funny man walk on his hands

Am7                G6                     Fmaj9
    See the little princess laugh as hard as she can

    Em7                   Bb9
her every wish is his com mand
