I'm a Clown

See the funny little clown
See the puppet on a string
Wind him up, he'll sing
Give him candy and he'll dance
But be certain not to feel
That his funny face is real

Step right up and see him folks
Couldn't you die at all his jokes
Couldn't you cry at all the tricks
He'll come up with in a fix
But be certain not to stray
'Cause he'll steal your heart away

I am a clown, I am a clown, clown
You'll always see me smile
You'll never see me frown
Sometimes my scenes are good
Sometimes they're bad
Not funny, ha ha, funny sad

I am a clown, look at the clown, clown
Always a laughing face
Whenever you're around
Always the same routine, I never change
Not funny, ho-ho, funny strange

Sometimes I think
The world is a circus town
Sometimes I feel
Like a lonely inside show

Man on the flying trapeze
He ain't never comin' down
He knows what I know
If you look inside
If I didn't hide, you might
Decide you don't want me

I am a clown
That's why I'm a clown, clown
Just like the fool on the hill
Beggin' to come down

I want to live again, oh, I want to feel
Tell me you love me, make me real
Tell me you love me, make me real
Tell me you love me, make me real

See the funny little clown
See the puppet on a string
Wind him up and he will sing
Give him candy, he will dance
But be certain not to feel
If his funny face is real
