In days of old when knights were bold  
and journeyed from their castles  
Trusty men were left behind  
Knights needed not the hassles.  
They helped themselves to pig and peach  
And drank from the King’s own chalice  
Ah, it was a stirring sight,  
These gypsies in the palace!

Into to Jimmy Buffett’s song, _Gypsies in the Palace_
