Clown At the Abyss a Tribute To Van Halen

“Clown at the Abyss,” a Tribute to Van Halen
Lyrics inspired by “Everybody Wants Some!!”

You can't get romantic in a carnie line
Ringmaster don't like it, says you're wastin' your time
But everybody wants fun
I want fun too
Everybody wants fun
Baby, how 'bout you?
Yeah, I've seen the people that are lookin' for the trapeze
Yeah, ya spent a lot ya got lost at the Tilt-a-Whirl
But everybody wants fun
I want fun too
Everybody wants fun
How 'bout you?
Oh yeah, uh yeah, yeah, yeah
Everybody wants fun
I want fun too oh
Everybody wants fun
How 'bout you?
Oh, where'd you get that banana-split?
Oh, that, I like it
I like the way that tie runs up the front of your party suit
I've always liked those kind of big floppy shoes
No no no no, don't take 'em off, don't take leave 'em on, leave 'em on
Yeah, that's it, a little more to the right, “snap” good picture
Everybody wants fun
I want fun too
Everybody wants fun
Baby, how 'bout you?
Everybody wants fun
Everybody needs fun
Everybody wants fun
Everybody needs fun (wo)
Money for the photo?  I'll pay you for it, what the heck?
