Be A Clown Lyrics

I'll remember forever

When I was but three

Mama, who was clever

Remarking to me

If son when you're grown up

You want everything nice

I've got your future sewn up

If you take this advice

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 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

Show 'em tricks, tell 'em jokes

And you'll only stop with top folks

Be a crack Jackanapes

And they'll imitate you like apes

Why be a great composer with your rent in arrears

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

If you just make 'em roar

Watch your Mounte bank account soar

Wear a painted mustache

And you're sure to make a big splash

A college education I should never propose

A bachelor's degree won't even keep you in clothes

But millions you will win if you can spin on your nose

Be a clown, be a clown, be a clown

Give 'em quips, give 'em fun

And they'll happy 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 clown
