lyrics

It's the time of the gypsies
Dance if you're tipsy
Keep it iron crispy
Smoke rise wispy
It's the time of the gypsies
Dance if you're tipsy
Keep it iron crispy
Smoke rise wispy

So tell Jack the jig's up
Go get what we're owed
Go Pack up the wag up
Get the horses on the road
Don't cross thy brother
Stay true to the code
Do love my abode
Though many foes do goad
I grew with the best of them
Remember the yester when
Life was a jester then
I was obsessed with them
Family blessed with them
Gods do pester them
Out on a quest with them
Memories a chest of them
Roll like a bacon bun
Crisp under baking sun
Keeping at it make it done
Making fun smoking gun
Two barrels
Had to come back with the wheel barrow
Feel shallow
Slim chances still card tarot
Send the arrow to the heart
Dig burrow to the start
Get your piece of the pie get your part of the tart
So sugar and spice curry red beans and rice
Another throw of the dice yes I may be enticed

It's the time of the gypsies
Dance if you're tipsy
Keep it iron crispy
Smoke rise wispy
It's the time of the gypsies
Dance if you're tipsy
Keep it iron crispy
Smoke rise wispy

Take spice from the east
Play pipes for the feast
Cake sliced into piece
No Pikes for defeat
No likes no thumbs
No orange in my rum
Dutch courage in my tum
Go forage go run
City parks city slums
Pretty smart pretty dumb
Witty art gritty gun
Get a grip come along
Take part you are young
Breathe deep in your lung
High start high strung
Bless people you're among
Do speak many tongues it's the gage of the language
Commit many wrongs it's the sign of the bandit
You cannot hide from the camera that's candid
Soon high tide better cross over sand bridge
Sandwiched in between
Bandaged keep it clean
Damaged need a dream
Visible high beam
Physical eyes gleam
Melt like ice cream
Running out of I steam
Wonder where have I been

It's the time of the gypsies
Dance if you're tipsy
Keep it iron crispy
Smoke rise wispy
It's the time of the gypsies
Dance if you're tipsy
Keep it iron crispy
Smoke rise wispy
