(spoken)
I'll remeber forever
when I was but three
Ma ma, who was clever,
remarking to me
" Son, when you're grown up,
and want everything nice
I've got you're future sewn up,
if you'll take my advice"

Be a clown, be a clown
All the world, loves a clown
Wear the cap, and the bells
and you'll rate with all the great swells

If you become a doctor,
folks will 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!!
