Lyrics:

I am a clown, I am a clown, clown
You'll always see me smile
You'll never see me frown
Sometimes my scenes are good
Sometimes they're bad
They're not funny ha-ha, funny sad

I am a clown, look at the clown, clown
Always a laughing face
Whenever you're around
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 I belong in a sideshow
The man on the flying trapeze, he ain't never coming down
He knows what I know
If you look inside, if I didn't hide
You might decide you don't want me

I am a clown, that's why I'm a clown, clown
Just like the fool on the hill
Begging to come down
I wanna live again
Oh I wanna 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

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