Galavant - Comedy Gold Lyrics

"Comedy Gold" is a song from Galavant performed by Ben Presley and Timothy Omundson.

Jester: Comedy is easy once you know the basics.
Starting with the concept of surprise.
King Richard: Right.
Jester: Take what folks think,
Give it a wink,
You try it on now for size.

King Richard: Me?
Jester: Yeah.

(King Richard pushes a guard off the balcony and we hear the Wilhelm Scream.)

King Richard: He was surprised.

Jester: Comedy gold.
King Richard: Really?
Jester: I'm tellin' ya it's comedy gold.
King Richard: Yes!
Jester: You're killing it!
If that doesn't slay them...
King Richard: I'll murder ya cold!
Guard: Swear to God, it's comedy gold!

Jester: Well, our work here is done, so I'll just be going.
King Richard: Oh, we're just getting started.
Jester: Ah, right.
King Richard: Lesson two.

Jester:
Lesson number two is also fundamental.
Something that we call the Rule of Three.
Set up the joke,
Give it a stroke.
Third time, bam!
King Richard:
Yes, now me!
Three serfs walk into a bar. The first serf orders a hot grog.
The second serf orders a hot grog.
And the third serf orders a hot grog.
But he has no money or neither do the
other two because they are serfs. Huh?

Jester: Comedy gold.
King Richard: Yes, nailed it!
Jester: I promise you it's comedy gold.
King Richard: Hilarious.
Jester: The crowd will be rolling...
King Richard: Or heads will be rolled.
Jester: Oh, not with all this comedy gold.

King Richard: More, more.
Jester: Props can be a riot,
Ethnic humor, can't deny it.
Or a pratfall if it's properly applied.
Depending on the viewer,
Take it black or work it bluer.
Or try an observational aside.

King Richard:
Have you ever noticed how lepers have pieces falling off of them?
What's that all about?

Jester and King Richard:
Gonna be killer,
Gonna be ace.
Folks dyin' of laughter
All over the place!
King Richard: And if I get desperate...
Jester: A pie in the face!
King Richard: I dare you.
Jester and King Richard: Tellin' you it's comedy gold!
