Benny the Jester (FOOL VER.)/ ft. Frimomen + sound-sakura

The jester returns, tantalizing as ever... if not more so. The long-awaited English version is here, complete with a fresh new arrangement steeped in a fusion of baroque, ska, and punk influences! These English lyrics are partially based off scrapped ideas from the original lyrical draft of the Japanese version, and now have a more outwardly-flirtatious lean. Perhaps not for prudes... heehee. This time, I collaborated with the amazing @sound-sakura for guitars; to say they exceeded my already high expectations would be an understatement! It actually makes me wish I thought to get them to do guitars for the original version... but hey, what can you do? Oh, and I fixed that typo from the original video LMAO LYRICS --------------- Well, hello; I'm Benny the Jester Oh, how's about a little fun to make you laugh? I entertain the king I do, sir With a smile you will never ever see crack Falalalalalala, lalalalalaa~ Acting like a fool that falls on his ass? Well, baby that's just fine Falalalalalala, lalalalalaa~ Cause after all, this whole kingdom; it surely will soon be mine! (Yahho~!) I don't think this place is as fun as it could be, not to mention colorless and so bland But, if it became a jester's world... tell me, wouldn't that just be so grand? Spinning, spinning, all around; give it all to a charming clown Got no time for boring old kings, just throw them away now, bye-bye-bye! A motley colored blue and white, power of laughter feels so right The world is led by fools anyhow, so why not led a real goof take the lead? Don't need a queen by my side, I get turned on by a crazy night But if you make me laugh, then I will let you crawl over here, my darling Jingling bells, they hark the call, the "ring-a-ding" means I'm in the walls Once I'm king, I'll be number one, everyone will rejoice for the king of fun! Well, hello; I'm Benny the Jester Was your heart paralyzed by my yellow-eyed gaze? I'm known as Master of the Trompe L'oeil Hee-hee-hee, my own genius leaves me amazed Falalalalalala, lalalalalaa~ Surely do wonder how I would look in a crystal-festooned crown Falalalalalala, lalalalalaa~ Oh, I can't wait 'til I take my seat on a throne fit for a clown Darling, I must confess; I'm a tiny bit obsessed My eager harlequin heart's beating right out of my chest Imagining my rule's playbook with ever-hitching breaths In a month they'll learn that a foolish cad knows best Hey now, won't you show your pride? Let your clown flag fly free What better way to show that you're on my side? Everybody in my world will line up beyond my sight And I'll hear "Mr. Jester, I love you" every night! Giddy, giddy, giddy ol' me excited by this restructuring! Oh, who'll be the big dog in control of it all? ✧ME-ME-ME✧ Matinee's starting, don't just stand! Get some popcorn right in your hand! You don't wanna be hungry when this party gets started in full swing! Oh, I feel it in my grip, I can feel it brushing up against my lips Jester's victory tastes sweet, so come on everybody, dig right in! Do-re-mi-fa-so, can you sing along to the tune of my little endgame song? When the last note plays, all I see, will belong, will belong to yours truly! Spinning, spinning, all around; give it all to a charming clown Got no time for boring old kings, just throw them away now, bye-bye-bye! A motley colored blue and white, power of laughter feels so right The world is led by fools anyhow, so why not led a real goof take the lead? Oh, I feel I'm getting sick, oh, I feel I'm so slick The tossing in my stomach won't stop me from getting done what I must get done Somebody save me, I've gone mad... is what I'd say if I weren't so glad! I'm on top, laughing with a grin, dunno why I can't make myself stop again! --------------- Check me out on SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/user-336527838 Follow my Twitter: https://x.com/funkyzukinmusic ...And my BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/funkyzukin.bsky.social Support my Bandcamp!: https://funkyzukin.bandcamp.com/ Contact: FunkyzukinMusic@gmail.com
