Be a Clown
Be a clown,
Be a clown!
All the world loves a clown
And you'll always stop with top folks
Dress in huge baggy pants
And you'll ride the road to romance
(G) A butcher or a baker ladies never embrace
(J) A barber for a beau would be a social disgrace
They all will come to call
If you can fall on your face,
Be a clown, be a clown, be a clown!
Be a clown,
Be a clown!
All the world loves a clown
(G) Be the poor, silly ass
(J) And you'll always travel first class!
Give 'em quips,
Give 'em pun,
And they'll pay to say you're A-one
(G) Why be a great composer
With your rent in arrears?
(J) Why be a major poet
And you'll owe it for years?
When crowds'll pay to giggle
If you wiggle your ears!
Be a clown, be a clown, be a clown!
Be a clown,
Be a clown!
All the world loves a clown
(G) Be a crazy buffoon
(J) And the demoiselles will all swoon!
Jackanapes,
And they'll imitate you like apes
(G) If you become a farmer,
You've the weather to buck
(J) If you become a gambler,
You'll be stuck with your luck
But, Jack, you'll never lack
If you can quack like a duck!
Be a clown, be a clown, be a clown!
Be a clown,
Be a clown,
Be a clown!
Be a clown!
All the world loves a clown
And you'll always stop with top folks
Dress in huge baggy pants
And you'll ride the road to romance
(G) A butcher or a baker ladies never embrace
(J) A barber for a beau would be a social disgrace
They all will come to call
If you can fall on your face,
Be a clown, be a clown, be a clown!
Be a clown,
Be a clown!
All the world loves a clown
(G) Be the poor, silly ass
(J) And you'll always travel first class!
Give 'em quips,
Give 'em pun,
And they'll pay to say you're A-one
(G) Why be a great composer
With your rent in arrears?
(J) Why be a major poet
And you'll owe it for years?
When crowds'll pay to giggle
If you wiggle your ears!
Be a clown, be a clown, be a clown!
Be a clown,
Be a clown!
All the world loves a clown
(G) Be a crazy buffoon
(J) And the demoiselles will all swoon!
Jackanapes,
And they'll imitate you like apes
(G) If you become a farmer,
You've the weather to buck
(J) If you become a gambler,
You'll be stuck with your luck
But, Jack, you'll never lack
If you can quack like a duck!
Be a clown, be a clown, be a clown!
Be a clown,
Be a clown,
Be a clown!
