2
By: Jimmy Buffett, Glenn Frey, Will Jennings

1985
4
"I have heard that some of the great parties of all times have
5
been at my house - when I wasn't there."
6
-- Spoken:
7
"In days of old, when knights were bold,
8
And journeyed from their castles,
9
Trusty men were left behind,
10
Knights needed not the hassles.
11
They helped themselves to pig and peach,
12
And drank from King's own chalice.
13
Oh, it was a stirring sight
14
These gypsies in the palace."
15
"And some things never change. Hit it boys!"
16
So long boss, knock 'em dead, don't worry 'bout a thing
17
Wish that we could come along, we'd love to hear you sing
18
Limo's here, your bags are packed, the list is by the phone
19
Me and Snake will watch your place and treat it like our own
20
Look at all this liquor
21
Look at all this food
22
It's only gonna go to waste
23
We're not really being rude
24
But the good stuff's in his closet, I swear he wouldn't mind
25
Hell we'll just shoot the lock off, I do it all the time
26
We're gypsies in the palace, He's left us here alone
27
The Order of the Sleepless Knights will now assume the throne
28
We ain't got no money, we ain't got no right
29
But we're gypsies in the palace, we got it all tonight
30
There's damsels in distress out there and we got all this beer
31
We'll free them from their condos and bring 'em over here
32
We'll show them his gold records
33
We'll play his music loud
34
We'll party just like Bubba does
35
We'll do the old man proud
36
We're gypsies in the palace, there ain't no wrong or right
37
We're gypsies in the palace, and a' goin' wild tonight
38
He's the greatest guy to work for, man he's really cool
39
Hey Snake this party's gettin' dull, throw someone in the pool
40
Hey let's all take our clothes off and form a conga line
41
Watch out for that broken glass, hey Snake we need more wine
42
We're gypsies in the palace, there ain't no wrong or right
43
We're gypsies in the palace, and we're raisin' hell tonight
44
Hey
45
Oh hi there boss, what's goin' on
46
You say you're coming WHEN?
47
I'll send Snake out to pick you up tomorrow night at ten, OKAY!
48
Everybody outta here, this joint is closin' down
49
We gotta find someone to clean this up, he's comin' back to town
50
Hi there boss we waxed your cars, we raked and mowed your lawn
51
We couldn't find enough to do in the short time you were gone
52
Man it sure is peaceful here, you've really got it all
53
If you ever hit the road again, give me and Snake a call
54
We're gypsies in the palace, he's left us here alone
55
The Order of the Sleepless Knights will now assume the throne
56
We ain't got no money, we ain't got no right
57
But we're gypsies in the palace, we got it all tonight
58
-- Spoken:
59
"Hey, Jimmy, It's Glenn"
60
"Glenn, How ya doin'?"
61
"Fine man, I'm goin' on the road.
62
Do you know anybody who could possibly house-sit for me?"
63
"I got these two great guys that look after my place.
64
Man, they're the best!"
