Be a Clown

Be a clown, be a clown
All the world loves a clown
Act a fool, play the calf
And you'll always have the last laugh (ha-ha)
Wear the cap and the bells
And you'll rate with all the great swells

If you become a doctor, folks'll face you with dread
If you become a dentist, they'll be glad when you're dead
You'll 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 the poor silly ass
And you'll always travel first-class
Give 'em quips, give 'em fun
And they'll pay to say you're A-1

If you become a farmer, you've the weather to buck
If you become a gambler, you'll be stuck with your luck
But Jack you'll never lack if you can quack like a duck
Be a clown, be a clown, be a -

Be a clown
Be a clown
Be a clown
