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
