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.
