V1:
There once was a young lad who was a swash doc
he ran off when time as a ram was all up
he bugled and skanked and ran up and down stage
his dancing and antics were all of the rage
his trumpet was old and rusted inside and out
so play he did not and instead he would shout
he knew not of c-minor a-major b-flat
al coda, forte oh he knew none of that
but time to skank and none could surpa**
his knack in the pit and for shaking his a**
one night at a show some young la** was impressed
and at once it began a royal mess
V2:
the sight of him dancing inspired her so
she spent the whole night, prancing to and fro
at once she decided the best in the band
was the man on the trumpet and not her husband
adoringly praising his bugleling call
blinded by reverence seeing no fault
and we were all shocked and amazed and confused
how could she choose him to stand as her muse
no matter how much we a**erted and fought
she paid us no mind we were second-rate docs
her mind was made up she had picked her favorite
and he would not let us forget
Chorus:
Celeste do you see what a madness you've done
his ego's so large it is second to none
how could you encourage a self-centered man
he's taking us over was that your whole plan
together you rule the whole wide world of ska
is this what you want a rude boy coup d'etat
Don't know what you want i just know what i saw
in the song of Celeste and the puto king of ska
Trumpet Solo
Chorus:
Celeste do you see what a madness you've done
his ego's so large it is second to none
how could you encourage a self-centered man
he's taking us over was that your whole plan
together you rule the whole wide world of ska
is this what you want a rude boy coup d'etat
Don't know what you want i just know what i saw
in the song of Celeste and the puto king of ska
V3:
she thought it a joy to give him so much praise
adoring him so through his trumpeting days
he soaked it all up all he could possibly
inflating his ego to capacity
she did not take warning Celeste did not care
she bought him a crown and a throne for a chair
he loved it so much he changed his real name
because of the praise from just one single dame
to this very day he will call himself "king"
and Celeste is to blame for the entire thing
he has moved he is gone he is out of this land
but he still thinks he's part of the band.
Chorus:
Celeste do you see what a madness you've done
his ego's so large it is second to none
how could you encourage a self-centered man
he's taking us over was that your whole plan
together you rule the whole wide world of ska
is this what you want a rude boy coup d'etat
Don't know what you want i just know what i saw
in the song of Celeste and the puto king of ska
