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
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
