Make me act the fool for all my friends and my relations
Let them think I'm crazy, yes, can be
Let me hear them laugh and say in undertones and whispers:
No one acts the fool as well as he
Let the world be wise to what is going on inside me
Let it colour everything I do
Let me hear them laugh and when you're standing here beside me
Let them see I act the fool for you
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
Let a people say you twist me round your little finger
Let them say you've got me on a string
I don't care what people say it really doesn't matter
Talking really doesn't mean a thing, oh no
Let them laugh and say I've changed beyond all recognition
If that is really what they wanna do
I do what I wanna do, the way I wanna do it
And I just want to act the fool for you
