The ease of laughter comes so fast when you're not in A jester's shoes 'Cause when you've only Fool's Gold, you've got nothing more to lose... Who holds the riches The jester or the king?

The harlequin rushes in as his work begins for the day... The harlequin rushes in as his work begins for the day... While somewhere in a market square The cobblestones still shine...
