| Make me act the fool for all
my friends and my relations/
Let them think I'm crazy, yes, can be-2т
Let me hear them laugh and say
in undertones and whispers:/
No one acts the fool as well as he-2т
Let the world be wise
to what is going on inside me/
Let it colour everything I do-2т
Let me hear them laugh and
when you're standing here beside me/
Let them see I act the fool for you
CHORUS
Give me bells upon my fingers
Give me bells upon my toes
Make me wear a pointed hat
And dress in funny clothes
You can make me entertain you
Like the troubadours would do
Then take me in your arms
And make me act the fool for you
REFRAIN
Let a people say you twist
me round your little finger/
Let them say you've got me on a string-2т
I don't care what people say
it really doesn't matter/
Talking really doesn't mean a thing,oh no-2т
Let them laugh and say
I've changed beyond all recognition/
If that is really what they wanna do-2т
I do what I wanna do, the way I wanna do it/
And I just want to act the fool for you
CHORUS |
