With His Big Floppy Feet And His Flashing Red Nose,
And His Prancing And Dancing Where Ever He Goes,
He's A Clown Making Laughter, Whom Nobody Knows,
Just A Funny Man Wearing Some Outlandish Clothes!

OH! THE CLOWN IN THE CIRCUS MAKES EVERY ONE LAUGH!
ALL THE CHILDREN DELIGHT WITH HIS STYLE!
JUST A COMICAL SAGE WORKING MINIMUM WAGE,
WITH A TEAR PAINTED ON LIKE HIS SMILE!

With His Eyebrows So Tall And His Face Painted White,
And His Baggy Pants Making His Body A Sight!
With His Props And His Act He's A Joke To Them All,
With His Walk And His Mawk And Occasional Fall!

OH! THE CLOWN IN THE CIRCUS MAKES EVERY ONE LAUGH!
ALL THE CHILDREN DELIGHT WITH HIS STYLE!
JUST A COMICAL SAGE WORKING MINIMUM WAGE,
WITH A TEAR PAINTED ON LIKE HIS SMILE!

Every Night When He Makes-Up To Put On His Shows,
There's A picture He kisses, Then Quietly Goes,
He's A Clown Making Laughter, With None Of His Own,
For His Loved One's In Heaven And He's All Alone!

OH! THE CLOWN IN THE CIRCUS MAKES EVERY ONE LAUGH!
ALL THE CHILDREN DELIGHT WITH HIS STYLE!
JUST A COMICAL SAGE WORKING MINIMUM WAGE!
WITH A TEAR PAINTED ON LIKE HIS SMILE!

OH! THE FACES WE WEAR ARE NOT ALWAYS OUR OWN,
AND THE BURDENS WE BEAR SELDOM SHOWN,
AS WE STUMBLE AND TUMBLE AND SMILE THRU EACH FALL,
CIRCUS CLOWNS, YOU AND ME, ONE AND ALL!

OH1 THE CLOWN IN THE CIRCUS MAKES EVERY ONE LAUGH!
ALL THE CHILDREN DELIGHT WITH HIS STYLE!
JUST A COMICAL SAGE WORKING MINIMUM WAGE,
WITH A TEAR PAINTED ON LIKE HIS SMILE!
