No man's a jester playing Shakespeare   Round your throne room floor   While the juggler's act is danced upon   The crown that you once wore      And sooner or later   Everybody's kingdom must end   And I'm so afraid your courtiers   Cannot be called best friends      Caesar's had your troubles   Widows have to cry   While mercenaries in cloisters sing   And the king must die      Some men are better staying sailors   Take my word and go   But tell the ostler that his name was   The very first they chose      And if my hands are stained forever   And the altar should refuse me   Would you let me in, would you let me in, would you let me in   Should I cry sanctuary      No man's a jester playing Shakespeare   Round your throne room floor   While the juggler's act is danced upon   The crown that you once wore      The king must die, the king must die ,   The king must die , the king is dead...........   Long live the king
