The jester laughs The council meets The ladies choose their champions All companions join At Arthur’s court They tell their tales Of glorious feats Of dragons slain and battles won The night’s still young At Arthur’s court Don’t they know That this feast isn’t meant to last forever Time will show Who’ll betray and who’ll serve their king and lord Still the jester laughs at Arthur’s Court Now every year They take their seat In loyalty and honour both They swear their oath At Arthur’s court They make a strange Heroic breed With damsels saved and monsters killed Their cups are filled At Arthur’s court Don’t they know That this feast isn’t meant to last forever Time will show Who’ll betray and who’ll serve their king and lord Still the jester laughs at Arthur’s Court
