I was a lad, I was gloomy and sad as
I was from the day I was born!

1:06:08
When other babes giggled and gurgled
and wiggled I proudly was loudly forlorn!

1:06:13
My friends and my family looked at me
clammily, thought there was something amiss!

1:06:17
When others found various antics
hilarious, all I could manage was this!

1:06:21
or this!
1:06:23
or this!
1:06:24
or this!
1:06:26
My father, he shouted
He needs to be clouted.

1:06:28
His teeth on a
wreath I'll hand him!

1:06:30
My mother she cried as
she rushed to my side.

1:06:32
You're a brute! and you
don't understand him!

1:06:34
So they sent for a witch
with a terrible twitch

1:06:37
to ask how my
future impressed her.

1:06:39
She took one look
at me and cried he...

1:06:43
hee hee hee.. he?
1:06:47
What else could he
be but a jester?

1:06:49
A jester? A jester?
A funny idear a jester!

1:06:54
No butcher, no baker,
no candlestick maker

1:06:57
and me with the look of a fine
undertaker impressed her...

1:07:01
as a jester?
1:07:03
But where could I learn any comical
turn that was not in a book on the shelf?

1:07:08
No teacher to take me to mold me
and make me a merry mad fool or an elf!

1:07:12
But I'm proud to recall that in no
time at all with no other recourses

1:07:15
but my own resources with firm
application and determination...

1:07:21
I made a fool of myself!
1:07:29
I found a bow and arrow
and I learned to shoot.

1:07:32
I found a little horn
and I learned to too.

1:07:33
Now I can shoot and
too, ain't I cute?

1:07:44
(no end of song)
