Dancin Clown - Lyrics by Mitchell Joni


Lyrics
No, you couldn't call Jesse a babe in the woods
He's just weak in self-defense'
Cause he's so thin skinned
He can't take a joke at his expense"
You're a push down window," says Rowdy Yates"I can run you up and down
Anytime I want
I can make you my dancin'--
My dancin' clown!"
You're my dancin' clown
Dancin' dancin'
My dancin' clown
Dancin'
You're my dancin' clown
Dancin' dancin' dancin'
My dancin' clown
Rowdy Yates is as bold as Jove--
He's all chide and snide and bluff--
Stuck in the romantic tradition
Of acting rough and tough"
You're always charging thru," says Jesse
Nervous, lookin' all around--
To see who's seein' him bein' a dancin'A dancin' clown
He's a dancin' clown
Dancin' dancin'A dancin' clown
Dancin'
He's a dancin' clown
Dancin' dancin' dancin'A dancin' clown
Cherchez la femme
Whenever love comes around
Someone's a dancin' clown
Cherchez la femme
Whenever hearts start to pound
Someone's a dancin' clown
Down the street comes last-word Suzie--
She's high yellow--lookin' top nice
You hear the swoosh of jungle blades
And the crackle of northern ice"
Hot damn!" says Rowdy--lookin' up"
Yum!" says Jesse lookin' down"
How would you like to be her dancin'
Her dancin' clown?"
Be her dancin' clown
Dancin' dancin'
Her dancin' clown
Dancin'
Be her dancin' clown
Dancin' dancin' dancin'
Her dancin' clown
Cherchez la femme
Whenever love comes to town
Someone's a dancin' clown
Cherchez la femme
Wherever hearts start to pound
Someone's a dancin' clown
