I'M a Clown For You
Listen to all of them laughing
As I tell my joke
Or make fun of newsworthy
At politicians, I’d poke
I stand in front of them
Mic, there in hand
Tickling their funny bones
They’re at my command
Sometimes I’m racy
Really raunchy I’d say
If the audience applauds
It’s then a good day
Sometimes I insult
Many people I abuse
That’s not the real me
A very clever ruse
In truth, I get paid
To stand here and speak
With hopes they’ll all laugh
And my jokes, they don’t reek
