[Verse 1]
He walked in with a grin too wide
Jester bells and a quick tongue slide
The king on a throne, all puffed up high
One fool in the room with a trick in his eye
He bowed low, said, "Your crown looks tired"
"Heavy on your head, but it won't get you far"
The court leaned in like, "What is this?"
He laughed and said, "Trust me on this"
[Pre-Chorus]
One little game
One little dare
The king leaned close
Like he had no care
[Chorus]
Give it up, give it up
Pass that crown
Jester in the chair now
Turn it all around
Give it up, give it up
No one saw
The fool made the king
Let it fall
[Verse 2]
He pulled out cards from a velvet sleeve
Made the king laugh, made the king believe
"Bet your crown on the final hand"
"Winner takes all, that's the deal, understand?"
The king said, "Done" with a greedy smile
Thinking he could win in a minute or while
But the jester dealt truth in a crooked way
And the king signed off on his own decay
He reached for the prize, but it slipped away
Now the fool had the room, now the fool had the say
The guards stood still, the nobles froze
While the jester rose in the king's old robes
[Pre-Chorus]
One little game
One little dare
Now the whole damn court
Got caught in the snare
[Chorus]
Give it up, give it up
Pass that crown
Jester in the chair now
Turn it all around
Give it up, give it up
No one saw
The fool made the king
Let it fall
[Bridge]
He spun that crown on a finger tip
Made a kingdom bow with a single flip
The king said, "Wait" but it was too late
A fool on the throne had already changed his fate
[Chorus]
Give it up, give it up
Pass that crown
Jester in the chair now
Turn it all around
Give it up, give it up
No one saw
The fool made the king
Let it fall
