Am C Em D the players tried for a forward pass, with the jester on the sidelines
I can still remember how that music used to make me smile in a cast
G D Em Em* D* Em* D*
And I know if I had my chance, Now at halftime there was sweet perfume, while sergeants played a
Am C Em C marching tune

When the jester sang for the king and queen wouldn't play
