Be a clown, be a clown
All the world loves a clown
Act the fool, play the calf
And you'll always have
the last laugh
Wear the cap and
the bell s
And you'll rate all the great swells
If you become a doctor,
folks will face you with dread
If you become a dentist,
they will be glad when you're dead
You 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 'demoiselles
will all swoon
Dress in huge baggy pants
An d you'll ride the road
to ro mance
A butcher or a baker,
ladies never embrace
A barber for a beau would be
a so cial disgrace
But they'll 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
Be the poor silly ass
An d you'll always travel
first class
Give 'em quips, give 'em fun
And they'll pay to say you're A- one
If you become a farmer,
you've the weather to buck
If become a gam bler you'll be
struck with your luck
But Jack you'll never lack if
you can quack like a duck
Be a clown, be a clown,
be a clown
