Now listen and learn for there's more here than meets the eye
Do you see them there with their finery and jewels
But don't be fooled by their generosity
(Chorus)
Who'll be the king of fools
Keep your fingers light for it's time to confiscate
God damn these gypsies
Cause given have a chance
Then voila you'll see
(Chorus)
Who'll be the king of fools
Today's the day
So if people gasp in shock
Cause your face could stop a clock
Step right this way
Who'll be the king of fools

They're gonna find some freak and crown him king of fools
From the poor and oppressed
They're gonna pick the ugliest
And make him the king
It's just a dirty trick by the aristocracy
Ya see they want somebody who
They can mock and ridicule
Someone like you, and me, but especially you
Who'll be the king of fools
Could it be me or you
King of fools
King of fools
For a pocked picked puts a sausage on the plate
Besides, the rich and velvet clad
Are just waiting to be had
So deservedly
They're demons from Satan's lair
They'll move right in
Then there goes the town and square
First they'll amuse you and smile then they'll steal you blind
You know they're gonna breed like rats
There goes our ethnic purity
Who'll be the king of fools
His ugliness always rules
King of fools
King of fools
We celebrate the feast
And worship not the beauty
But the beast
Who'll be the king of fools
His ugliness always rules
King of fools
King of fools
