Lyrics:

The smile of a clown
Cheers you up when you're down
But when your tears are drying
The tears that he's crying inside you don't know

Oh, the smile of a clown
When he makes his last bow
Can be more than appealing
It gives you a feeling inside
The smile of a clown

Put the paint on your face
Dressed in satin and lace
Never forget a big smile
Take your gloves in your hand
Sandals over your pants
Never forget a big smile

You can only be a clown
If you have the feeling in your heart
You can never be a clown
If you do not feel it in your heart

The smile of a clown
Cheers you up when you're down
But when your tears are drying
The tears that he's crying inside you don't know

Oh, the smile of a clown
When he makes his last bow
Can be more than appealing
It gives you a feeling inside
The smile of a clown

When you fall from the stage
When you're too old of age
Never forget a big smile
When they get calling you
It's a point that you
Never forget a big smile

You can only be a clown
If you have the feeling in your heart
You can never be a clown
If you do not feel it in your heart

The smile of a clown
Cheers you up when you're down
But when your tears are drying
The tears that he's crying inside you don't know

Oh, the smile of a clown
When he makes his last bow
Can be more than appealing
It gives you a feeling inside
The smile of a clown

The smile of a clown
Cheers you up when you're down
But when your tears are drying
The tears that he's crying inside you don't know

Oh, the smile of a clown
When he makes his last bow
Can be more than appealing
It gives you a feeling inside
The smile of a clown
