The Clown - The Spinners

Everybody loves a circus

The whole world loves a clown

He’s front page news to children

Every time he comes to town

The kalliope plays a happy tune

As kaleidoscopes of color

And children’s laughter fills the room

Clown, though your heart may be breaking, don’t you know

Just think of Pagliacci, and on with the show

Make them laugh, clown

Don’t let 'em see your tears

Make them laugh, clown

Forget about your lonely years

And laugh clown

It’s hard but keep on trying

Make them laugh, clown

But don’t let them catch you crying

In his hands he holds a letter

Slightly frayed and bent with time

And you will know his story

If you read between the lines

On his face there is a shadow

Of someone he used to know

And the memory of a young girl

Begging not to go

Clown, though your heart may be breaking, don’t you know

Just think of Pagliacci, and on with the show

Make them laugh, clown

Make them laugh, clown

Forget about your lonely years

And laugh clown

It’s hard but keep on trying

Make them laugh, clown

Don’t let them catch you crying

Laugh clown

Laugh clown

Laugh clown

Laugh clown

Hey come on and laugh clown

Come on and laugh clown

Come on and laugh clown

Forget about your lonely years

And laugh clown

Come on and laugh clown

Oh laugh clown

I know you’ve seen bad times but it’s

Laugh clown

It’s no fault of mine

I don’t care, I don’t care

I done paid my doe

I wanna see some show

Woah laugh clown

Come on and laugh

Hey, hey, hey

Oh yeah, make me move

Make me feel your groove, come on

You painted your face

You made your heart out of place

You say love’s gone away

You wanna see her today

Hey, laugh clown

It’s sad

It’s too bad, oh

Laugh clown

Come on and laugh
