I Am A Clown

See the funny little clown
See the puppet on a string
Wind him up and he will sing
Give him candy and he'll dance
But be certain not to feel his funny face is real

Step right up and see him folks
Couldn't you die at all his jokes
Couldn't you cry at all his tricks
He'll come up with in a fix
But be certain not to stray
'Cause he'll steal your heart away

I am a clown
I am a clown
You'll always see me smile
You'll never see me frown
Sometimes my scenes are good
Sometimes they're bad
Not funny ha-ha
Funny sad
I am a clown
Look at the clown
Always the same routine
I never change
Not funny ho-ho
Funny strange

Sometimes I think the world is a circus town
Sometimes I feel like a lonely inside show
Man on the flying trapeze
He ain't never coming down
He knows that I know if you look inside
If I didn't hide
You might decide you didn't want me

I am a clown
That's why I'm a clown
Just like the fool on the hill
Begging to come down
I want to live again
I want to feel
Tell me you love me
Make me real
Tell me you love me
Make me real
Tell me you love me
Make me real

Who's afraid? Indeed. Especially if Shakes the Clown is actually David Cassidy.
