Inspired by an extract of “Carnival of Venice”
Composed by André Campra
Oh Jester, discard your monotint gloom
Surrender to the loopy melody
Allow the childlike wonderment to bloom
With colourful magic you transform a room
With your air-inflated scenery
Oh Jester, discard your monotint gloom
On your painted smile, let not tears loom
And taint your surreal finery
Allow the childlike wonderment to bloom
We cackle in awe like wild buffoons
As you duel impossibility
Oh Jester, discard your monotint gloom
Make not the circus a woeful cacoon
Being flawless is obscenity
Allow the childlike wonderment to bloom
For it's not your perfections that win our affections
Your victory is in your comedy
Oh jester, discard your monotint gloom
Allow the childlike wonderment to bloom
