De-Lovely movie - Be A Clown lyrics
rate meSong by Kevin Kline, Peter Polycarpou and Chorus<br /><br>
VERSE<br>
I’ll remember forever,<br>
When I was but three,<br>
Mama, who was clever.<br>
Remarking to me….<br>
If son when you’re grown up<br>
You want ev’rything nice<br>
I’ve got your future sewn up<br>
If you take this advice…<br>
<br>
REFRAIN 1<br>
Be a clown, be a clown<br>
All the world loves a clown<br>
Act the fool play the calf<br>
And you’ll always have the last laugh<br>
Wear the cap and the bells<br>
And you’ll rate with all the best swells<br>
If you become a doctor, folks’ll face you with dread<br>
If you become a dentist, they’ll be glad when you’re dead<br>
You’ll get a bigger hand if you can stand on your head<br>
Be a clown, be a clown, be a clown.<br>
<br>
REFRAIN 2<br>
Be a clown, be a clown<br>
All the world loves a clown<br>
Be a crazy buffoon<br>
And the demoiselles’ll all swoon<br>
Dress in huge baggy pants<br>
And you’ll ride the road to romance<br>
A butcher or a baker ladies never embrace<br>
A barber or a beau would be a social disgrace<br>
They all’ll come to call if you can fall on your face<br>
Be a clown, be a clown, be a clown<br>
<br>
REFRAIN 3<br>
Be a clown, be a clown<br>
All the world loves a clown<br>
Show ‘em tricks tell ‘em jokes<br>
And you’ll only stop with top folks<br>
Be a crack jackanapes<br>
And they’ll imitate you like apes<br>
Why be a great composer with your rent in arrears?<br>
Why be a major poet and you’ll owe it for years?<br>
When crowds’ll pay to giggle if you wiggle your ears<br>
Be a clown, be a clown, be a clown<br>
<br>
REFRAIN 4<br>
Be a clown, be a clown<br>
All the world loves a clown<br>
If you just make ‘em roar<br>
Watch your mountebank soar<br>
Wear a painted moustache<br>
And you’re sure to make a big splash<br>
A college education I should never propose<br>
A bachelor’s degree won’t even keep you in clo’es<br>
But millions you will win if you can spin on your nose<br>
Be a clown, be a clown, be a clown<br>
<br>
REFRAIN 5<br>
Be a clown, be a clown<br>
All the world loves a clown<br>
Be the poor silly ass<br>
And you’ll always travel first class<br>
Give ‘em quips, give ‘em fun<br>
And they’ll apy and say you’re A1<br>
If you become a farmer you’ve the weather to buck<br>
If you become a gambler you’ll be stuck with your luck<br>
But Jack you’ll never lack if you can quack like a duck<br>
(Quack, quack, quack, quack)<br>
Be a clown, be a clown, be a clown.<br>
<br>
<br>
