Harlequin

 HARLEQUIN


come on

come on

chaplinesque

quixotic

storyteller

croon a tune

and jive

jive jive


tell how

tell how

a whisky glass

a bitch's ass

made a hobo

out of you

oh laugh

laugh laugh


put on

put on

a general's stars

a cowboy hat

and football pads

be a silly dilly

just dream

dream dream
