Enter Shikari – The Jester Lyrics

Rock

Simmer down ladies and gentlemen,
Simmer down please

And everything we stand on
And everything we stand for
Is rather unstable right now

So I think I'll kill some time
And have you done medium rare
But I think I'll tease my palette with some crudités
Just to prepare

You see we've had a Joker in the pack now for quite some time
So I reckon it's just about time we roast this swine

Ahhh
This is a crock of shit I refuse to be fed
So knuckle down and use your head
Cut it sunshine burn it up you ponce
Then knock me up a dish with some vol-au-vents
Ha Ha!
now I think we should take a leaf from the Romans' book (burn it up burn it up)
now I think we should take a leaf from the Romans' book (burn it up burn it up)

Lets throw it up and start again
Lets throw it up and start again
Shoo!

Nicely does it now...
Steady...
Hold...
Hold...
(Target Locked)
Cop a load of this one
Oh yeah!

Oh that was great
My compliments to the chef
I'm very satisfied
Do you know what I'll be sure to dine here again
fine cuisine
Stuffed cheeks were very agreeable
All in all a splendid spread
