Gypsies in the Palace - Live

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 some things never change. Hit it boys!"
 So long boss, knock 'em dead, don't worry 'bout a thing
 Wish that we could come along, we'd love to hear you sing
 Limo's here, your bags are packed, the list is by the phone
 Me and Snake will watch your place and 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 out there and we got all this beer
 We'll free them from their condos and bring 'em over here
 We'll show them his gold records
 We'll 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
 Hey 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
 Hey
 Oh 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 cars, 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
 If you 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
 (Spoken)
 "Hey, Jimmy, It's Glenn"
 "Glenn, How ya doin'?"
 "Fine man, I'm goin' on the road.
 Do you know anybody who could possibly house-sit for me?"
 "I got these two great guys that look after my place.
 Man, they're the best!"
