Jimmy Buffett - Gypsies In The Palace Lyrics
Gypsies in the palaceBy: jimmy buffett, glenn frey, will jennings1985"i have heard that some of the great parties of all times haveBeen at my house - when i wasn't there."-- spoken:"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 sightThese gypsies in the palace.""and some things never change. hit it boys!"So long boss, knock 'em dead, don't worry 'bout a thingWish that we could come along, we'd love to hear you singLimo's here, your bags are packed, the list is by the phoneMe and snake will watch your place and treat it like our ownLook at all this liquorLook at all this foodIt's only gonna go to wasteWe're not really being rudeBut the good stuff's in his closet, i swear he wouldn't mindHell we'll just shoot the lock off, i do it all the timeWe're gypsies in the palace, he's left us here aloneThe order of the sleepless knights will now assume the throneWe ain't got no money, we ain't got no rightBut we're gypsies in the palace, we got it all tonightThere's damsels in distress out there and we got all this beerWe'll free them from their condos and bring 'em over hereWe'll show them his gold recordsWe'll play his music loudWe'll party just like bubba doesWe'll do the old man proudWe're gypsies in the palace, there ain't no wrong or rightWe're gypsies in the palace, and a' goin' wild tonightHe's the greatest guy to work for, man he's really coolHey snake this party's gettin' dull, throw someone in the poolHey let's all take our clothes off and form a conga lineWatch out for that broken glass, hey snake we need more wineWe're gypsies in the palace, there ain't no wrong or rightWe're gypsies in the palace, and we're raisin' hell tonightHeyOh hi there boss, what's goin' onYou 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' downWe gotta find someone to clean this up, he's comin' back to townHi there boss we waxed your cars, we raked and mowed your lawnWe couldn't find enough to do in the short time you were goneMan it sure is peaceful here, you've really got it allIf you ever hit the road again, give me and snake a callWe're gypsies in the palace, he's left us here aloneThe order of the sleepless knights will now assume the throneWe ain't got no money, we ain't got no rightBut 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!"- notes:Background vocals: jimmy buffett, glenn frey, timothy b. schmitFeaturing mark o'connor on fiddle
