Be A Clown

Be a clown, Be a clown! All the world loves a clown And you'll always stop with top folks Dress in huge baggy pants And you'll ride the road to romance (G) A butcher or a baker ladies never embrace (J) A barber for a beau would be a social disgrace They all will 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 (G) Be the poor, silly ass (J) And you'll always travel first class! Give 'em quips, Give 'em pun, And they'll pay to say you're A-one (G) Why be a great composer With your rent in arrears? (J) Why be a major poet And you'll owe it for years? When crowds'll 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 (G) Be a crazy buffoon (J) And the demoiselles will all swoon! Jackanapes, And they'll imitate you like apes (G) If you become a farmer, You've the weather to buck (J) 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 clown! Be a clown, Be a clown, Be a clown!
