about
This is the story of two jesters who fall in love and discover their predilection for elastic braces, tight trousers and giving each other wedgies. In their spare time, Beregund is a drinker and a dancer, while Jenevive is a digger and a gardener. In order to first gain Beregund's attention, Jenevive dresses as a sun flower and blows a raspberry on his tummy.
They eventually use their braces to launch themselves into orbit and land on the moon, where they dance vigorously, wearing the cheese away and creating a pretty crescent shape. However when it rains the inner surface of the crescent becomes slippy and they fall off. They are saved by their elastic braces which catch on the pointy end of the moon. They amuse themselves for the rest of eternity by doing bungy bounces while giggling and giving themselves wedgies.
lyrics
JESTERS' WEDGE
Beregund was the king of fools
He drank all night and he danced all day
Till his shoes wore out and his memory fades
The hole in his shoe was a memory bright
When he held it to the sun he could see the light
light, light, light...
Jenevive was a crafted spade
Her pants were tight
and her sharp was blade
She digs all night and she plants all day
Grows a herb lore jungle
A shadowy glade
Disguised herself as a bright funny sun
Caught Beregund's eye
Blew a raspberry on his tum tum tum tum tummy tummy (raspberry) tum
Beregund and Jenevive were fools in love
Their pants were strong but never tight enough
They drank and they dug and they danced and they grew
Turned their braces into catapults and off they flew.
Yeeee-wahaa !
They danced on the moon and wore the cheese away
They made a pretty crescent and decided to stay
But the rain made it slippy and they fell off the edge
Now they bounce in the sky,
Happy with their Bungy wedge wedge wedgy wedgy wedge
La la la la la la
Tight , tight, tight, tight...
For elastic braces are the fools delight
Their smiles are broad
And their pants are tight
... tight, tight, tight, tight...
