So long Boss, knock 'em dead, don't worry 'bout a thing
Wish that we could come along, we'd love to hear you sing
The limo's here, your bags are packed, the list is by the phone
Me and Snake will watch your place and treat it like our own 

Look at all this liquor 
Look at all this food 
It's only gonna go to waste 
We're not really being rude 
But the good stuff's in his closet, I swear he wouldn't mind
Hell, we'll just shoot the lock off, I do it all the time

We're gypsies in the palace, he's left us here alone 
The order of the sleepless knights will now assume the throne 
We ain't got no money, we ain't got no right 
But we're gypsies in the palace, we got it all tonight 

There's damsels in distress out there and we got all this beer 
We'll free them from their condos and bring them over here 
We'll show them his Gold Records 
We'll play his music loud 
We'll party just like Bubba does 
We'll do the old man proud 

We're gypsies in the palace, there ain't no wrong or right
We're gypsies in the palace and we're going wild tonight

He's the greatest guy to work for, man, he's really cool 
Hey Snake, this party's getting dull, throw someone in the pool 
Hey, let's all take our clothes off and form a conga line 
Watch out for that broken glass, hey Snake, we need more wine 

We're gypsies in the palace, there ain't no wrong or right
We're gypsies in the palace and we're raising hell tonight, hey

Oh, hi there, Boss, what's goin' on?
You say you're coming when?
I'll send Snake to pick you up tomorrow night at ten, okay

Everybody out of here, the show is closing down 
We've got to find someone to clean this up
He's coming back to town 

Hi there, boss, we waxed your car, we raked and mowed your lawn
We couldn't find enough to do in the short time you were gone 

Man it sure is peaceful here, you really got it all 
If you ever hit the road again, give me and Snake a call 

We're gypsies in the palace, he's left us here alone 
The order of the Sleepless Knights will now assume the throne
We ain't got no money, we ain't got no right
But we're gypsies in the palace, we got it all tonight 

Hello? 
Hey, Jimmy, it's Glenn
Glenn, how ya doing? 
Fine man, I'm going on the road, do you know anyone who could house sit for me? 
I got these two great guys that look after my place man, they're the best
