The Maladjusted Jester - Danny Kaye

[alcd]

Great scene with the legendary Danny Kaye at his best.

When I was a lad I was gloomy and sad as I was from the day I was born
When other babes giggled and gurgled and wiggled I proudly was loudly forlorn
My friends and my family looked at me clammily thought there was something amiss
When others found various antics hilarious all I could manage was this :( or this (waha) or this (boohoo) or this (bwuhoohoohoohoohoo)

My father he shouted, "He needs to be clouted- his teeth on a wreath I'll hand him!"
My mother she cried, as she rushed to my side, "You're a brute and you don't understand him!"
So they sent for a witch with a terrible twitch to see how my future impressed her
She took one look at me, and cried, "heheheeeheeheeeheeehe What else could he be but a jester!"
A jester? A Jester?! A funny idea a jester!
No butcher, no baker, no candlestick maker, and me with the look of a fine undertaker impressed her- as a jester??

But where could I learn any comical turn, it was not in a book on a shelf!
No teacher to take me to mold me or make me a merry man, fool, or an elf!
But I'm proud to recall that in no time at all with no other recourses but my own resources with firm application and determination~....

I recently downsized my DVD collection to only about 40 selections. Court Jester and Inspector General made the cut.
