Send In The Clowns


Wait there is already one in the white house there is a madness going forth through are nation The climatic taunt of an old sensation Send in the clowns Barnum Bailey is going out of business going South with Joe you will see them in are streets some wearing strange decorum Trying to scare everybody Is it any wonder you got to much time on your hands the police know about these sightings so for now there in hiding Send in the clowns A whole host of a form of amusement You will see them on billboards movies make a mockery of them perhaps it's best the hold my breath and count to the number ten the circus made a killing off them some retire Streisand sang about them People get scared by the looks of them
