(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 sight

These gypsies in the palace."

"And some things never change. Hit it boys!"

So long boss, knock 'em dead, don't worry 'bout a thing

Wish that we could come along, we'd love to hear you sing

Limo's here, your bags are packed, the list is by the phone

Me and Snake will watch your place and treat it like our own

Look at all this liquor

Look at all this food

It's only gonna go to waste

We're not really being rude

But the good stuff's in his closet, I swear he wouldn't mind

Hell we'll just shoot the lock off, I do it all the time

We're gypsies in the palace, He's left us here alone

The Order of the Sleepless Knights will now assume the throne

We ain't got no money, we ain't got no right

But we're gypsies in the palace, we got it all tonight

There's damsels in distress out there and we got all this beer

We'll free them from their condos and bring 'em over here

We'll show them his gold records

We'll play his music loud

We'll party just like Bubba does

We'll do the old man proud

We're gypsies in the palace, there ain't no wrong or right

We're gypsies in the palace, and a' goin' wild tonight

He's the greatest guy to work for, man he's really cool

Hey Snake this party's gettin' dull, throw someone in the pool

Hey let's all take our clothes off and form a conga line

Watch out for that broken glass, hey Snake we need more wine

We're gypsies in the palace, there ain't no wrong or right

We're gypsies in the palace, and we're raisin' hell tonight

Hey

Oh hi there boss, what's goin' on

You 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' down

We gotta find someone to clean this up, he's comin' back totown

Hi there boss we waxed your cars, we raked and mowed your lawn

We couldn't find enough to do in the short time you were gone

Man it sure is peaceful here, you've really got it all

If you ever hit the road again, give me and Snake a call

We're gypsies in the palace, he's left us here alone

The Order of the Sleepless Knights will now assume the throne

We ain't got no money, we ain't got no right

But 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!"
