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 bringing 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 

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 bringing you down, 
That you've lost your chance 

In a trance, watch her dance 
to the beat of the drums 
Faster now, sweating brow, 
I'm all the fingers and thumbs 
Wonder why I hit the sky 
When she blows me a kiss 
In a while run a mile 
I'm regretting 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 bringing 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 bringing you down, 
That you've lost your chance
