I Can Be Your Fool

My love, you can dress me as a clown, I can be your jester, I'll certainly play your fool. You can paint my nose red And dress me in a polka dotted suit. I'll hop on a pogo stick, Juggle several fireballs, Throw in a rubber chicken And I'll make funny faces while I'm at it. I can drive a tiny car, Mime to pedestrians And stop traffic. I'll do silly things all day long, Like hang upside-down, And walk on my palms. I'll blow bubbles out of my ears, Then make duckies and bunnies appear! I can even sing you a love song. If it'll make you giggle, I can dance and sing And wiggle my hips some more. Others might say that I'm being absurd and ridiculous. I'll tell them they don't know a thing about happiness! It'll make you delirious and do plenty of bizarre things. I can find more jokes to crack And do insane magic knacks I'll even try a daredevil's act! For you, who'll know what I'd do! Your laughter makes insects crawl in my belly, Your smile makes my world change hues And my mind mush as goo- Like jelly. As long you're with me, you'll never frown 'Cause I'll always be your silly Outrageous happy clown.
