Kevin Kline, Peter Polycarpou And Chorus Lyrics
Be A Clwon Lyrics
Ill remember forever,
When I was but three,
Mama, who was clever.
Remarking to me
.
If son when youre grown up
You want evrything nice
Ive got your future sewn up
If you take this advice
Be a clown, be a clown
All the world loves a clown
Act the fool play the calf
And youll always have the last laugh
Wear the cap and the bells
And youll rate with all the best swells
If you become a doctor, folksll face you with dread
If you become a dentist, theyll be glad when youre dead
Youll get a bigger hand if you can stand on your head
Be a clown, be a clown, be a clown.
Be a clown, be a clown
All the world loves a clown
Be a crazy buffoon
And the demoisellesll all swoon
Dress in huge baggy pants
And youll ride the road to romance
A butcher or a baker ladies never embrace
A barber or a beau would be a social disgrace
They allll come to call if you can fall on your face
Be a clown, be a clown, be a clown
Be a clown, be a clown
All the world loves a clown
Show em tricks tell em jokes
And youll only stop with top folks
Be a crack jackanapes
And theyll imitate you like apes
Why be a great composer with your rent in arrears?
Why be a major poet and youll owe it for years?
When crowdsll pay to giggle if you wiggle your ears
Be a clown, be a clown, be a clown
Be a clown, be a clown
All the world loves a clown
If you just make em roar
Watch your mountebank soar
Wear a painted moustache
And youre sure to make a big splash
A college education I should never propose
A bachelors degree wont even keep you in cloes
But millions you will win if you can spin on your nose
Be a clown, be a clown, be a clown
Be a clown, be a clown
All the world loves a clown
Be the poor silly ass
And youll always travel first class
Give em quips, give em fun
And theyll apy and say youre A1
If you become a farmer youve the weather to buck
If you become a gambler youll be stuck with your luck
But Jack youll never lack if you can quack like a duck
(Quack, quack, quack, quack)
Be a clown, be a clown, be a clown
