Ha ha, said the clown, has the king lost his crown
Is the night being tight on romance
Ha ha, said the clown, is it bringin' you down
That you've lost your chance

Feeling low, gotta go see a show in town
Hear the jokes, have a smoke and a laugh at the clown
In a whirl, see a girl with a smile in her eyes
Never thought I'd be brought right down by her lies

In a trance, watch her dance to the beat of the drums
Faster now, sweating brow, I'm all fingers and thumbs
Wonder why I hit the sky when she blows me a kiss
In a while run a mile, I'm regrettin' all this

Ha ha, said the clown, has the king lost his crown
Is the night being tight on romance
Ha ha, said the clown, is it bringin' you down
That you've lost your chance

Time to go, close the show, wave the people good-bye
Grab my coat, grab my hat, look that girl in the eye
Where's your home, what's your phone number, stop fooling 'round
Could have died, she replied, I'm the wife of the clown

Ha ha, said the clown, has the king lost his crown
Is the night being tight on romance
Ha ha, said the clown, is it bringin' you down
That you've lost your chance

Ha ha, said the clown, has the king lost his crown ....
