i am a child of folly

now i want my way

and i don't know good or bad

but i dance all day

and my sense of humour

getting out of hand la-la

and the diamond's sharp you know

all the harlequins they go go



such a lovely colour

so the nasty taste won't show

and when i'm seeing bitter

then the carnal feelings go

so if you guess my next move

then that's more than me

so when i start to smile

then the harlequins will go go



i am a child of folly

now i want some fun

so i don't need good or bad

and we've just begun

so if you guess our next move

let your sense of humour show

and the diamonds are forever

all the harlequins will go go
