Songtexte The Yeomen of the Guard, Act I: "And so, good fellow" - "I've jibe and joke" - Robert Lloyd feat. Sir Thomas Allen, Academy of St. Martin in the Fields & Sir Neville Marriner
And
so,
good
fellow,
you
are
a
jester?
Ay,
sir;
and,
like
some
of
my
jests,
out
of
place
I
have
a
vacancy
for
such
an
one.
Tell
me
What
are
your
qualifications
for
such
a
post?
Marry,
sir,
I
have
a
pretty
wit.
I
can
riddle
you
From
dawn
of
day
to
set
of
sun;
and
if
that
content
You
not,
well,
unto
midnight
and
the
small
hours
Oh,
sir,
a
pretty
wit,
I
warrant
you,
a
pretty,
pretty
wit
I've
jibe
and
joke
And
quip
and
crank
Fol-ol-ly-folk
And
men
of
rank
I've
planny
craft
And
know
no
fear
But
aim
my
shaft
At
prince
or
peer
At
peer
or
prince
At
prince
or
peer
I
aim
my
shaft
And
know
no
fear
I've
wisdom
from
the
east
and
from
the
west
That's
subject
to
no
academic
rule
You
may
find
it
in
the
jeering
of
a
jest
Or
distil
it
from
the
folly
of
a
fool
I
can
teach
you
with
a
quip,
if
I've
a
mind
I
can
trick
you
into
learning
with
a
laugh
Oh,
winnow
on
my
folly,
folly,
folly
And
you'll
find
a
grain
of
truth
among
the
chaff
Oh,
winnow
on
my
folly,
folly,
folly
And
you'll
find
a
grain
of
truth
among
the
chaff
I
can
set
a
braggart
quailing
with
a
quip
The
upstart
I
can
wither
with
a
whim
He
may
wear
a
merry
laugh
upon
his
lip
But
his
laughter
has
an
echo
that
is
grim
When
are
offered
to
the
world
in
merry
guise
Unpleasant
truths
are
swallowed
with
a
will
For
he
who'd
make
his
fellow,
fellow,
fellow
creatures
wise
Should
always
gild
the
philosophic
pill
For
he
who'd
make
his
fellow,

fellow
creatures

pill
What
is
that
you
are
playing?
A
jest
What
a
jest
is
that?
A
jest
is
a
joke
Oh,
you
are
a
pretty
boy,
you
are
a
pretty,
pretty
boy!
That's
all
right.
But
what
is
it
you
are
playing?
A
jest
is
a
joke
A
joke
is
a
laugh.
Well,
what
is
it
you
are
playing?
A
jest
is
a
joke
A
joke
is
a
laugh.
Well,
what
is
it
you
are
playing?
A
jest
is
a
joke
A
joke
is
a
laugh.
Well,
what
is
it
you
are
playing?
A
jest
is
a
joke
What
a
joke
is
that?
A
joke
is
a
laugh
A
joke
is
a
laugh
A
joke
is
a
laugh
A
joke
is
a
laugh
A
joke
is
a
laugh
A
joke
is
a
laugh
