He's the boy that everybody's putting down
He dresses up like circuses
And paints the town
He puts on funny faces just to catch my eye
No one understands why I like this crazy guy
He's my clown
(He's so stupid, baby
What's with cupid
Can't you see it?)
He's my clown
(Played it smart
Until he got your heart
Now he will break it!)
He's my clown
(He's so cool, girl
Now that you're his fool, girl
Won't you wake up?)
He's my clown
(His best buddy says that
He is nutty
Don'tcha let him in!)
Go ahead and laugh
At all the clothes he wears
Long as we're together
Well, I just don't care
He says one day, baby
We'll take off and fly
Merry-go-rounds
Ferris wheels
And rolly coaster rides
He's my clown
(He's so icky
You should be more picky
You need glasses)
He's my clown
(He's outrageous, baby
It's contagious
Don't you catch it!)
He's my clown
(Watch it, honey
I will bet you money
He will hurt you)
He's my clown
(He is trouble
Get out on the double
Don't you be a fool!)
You think it's tragic
I think he's magic
He makes every day a happy carnival
Life is a circus
Nothing can hurt us
We'll turn every frown we see Into a smile
And if I'm dreaming
Don't wake me now
Ooh, he's so special
From his head down to his toes
He finds ways of havin' fun
Nobody knows
When he talks and he laughs
His whole face lights right up
You're just jealous
So please keep your big mouth shut
He's my clown
(You wouldn' know one
Even if you saw one
Neh Neh Neh Neh)
He's my clown
(Sticks and stones
Can always break his bones
But words can't hurt him)
He's my clown
(You're just jealous
You know you can't have him
Ha Ha Ha Ha)
He's my clown
(You don't like him
But you'd like one Iike him
Leave the boy alone)
He's my clown
He dresses up like circuses
And paints the town
He puts on funny faces just to catch my eye
No one understands why I like this crazy guy
