Clown At the Abyss-
Oh, Clown at the abyss;
We’re not laughing at you;
Not funny tis true, you're falling
This we do insist;
a comic entertainer one in a circus, you're falling
wearing a traditional costume and exaggerated makeup.
Lo! Grecian fall unsophisticated rustic;
Falling...
Zanni yonder foolish fool rustique;
Keeper of, costume competitions;
Zany fool jester falling so fustic,
Clown at the abyss;
We’re not laughing at you;
Not funny tis true;
This we do insist;
Not laughing
Clown falling down into the opera pit so mystique,
In addition, while in transition stamp;
Dressed White face, Auguste and Tramp;
All three clowns take a bow fall into the abyss
And just what is this
Still you falling...
Abyss a place where rustic fools fold and fall
Clown at the abyss;
Down into an clevis;
You falling...
We’re not laughing at you;
Not funny tis true;
This we do insist;
You’re a clown
And you’ve falling down;
No one laughing anymore;
Cause ya, not funny you’re a bore;
Harlequin comedian;
Merry Andrew takes also a bow;
As the demon boo those falling clowns;
You see when you’re not funny you fall;
Clown at the abyss;
You won’t be placed on a second stage call;
You’re a clown
And you’ve falling down;
No one laughing anymore;
Clown, clown at the abyss;
