The Clowns Are Laughing

Isn't this brilliant? Isn't it just gay? Life is so resilient With you gone away! But I won't think about that now No, not just right now anyway For I've come to see the clowns And they're laughing today! It is kind of sad And a tragic love affair, For one who didn't know what he had And the other, who didn't even care! But enough of that now Today I want to feel gay! Listen, I can hear the clowns And they're laughing today! Aren't we just the two? Don't we make a fine pair? Me, here feeling lonely without you And you, feeling lonely over there. But I won't let that get me down Today, I want to laugh and play! So I've come to see the clowns And they're laughing today! Doesn't it seem funny Like some practical joke? For one who only needed money And the other, quite broke! But I'll be happy without you I'll get through this someway, Laughter will drown those ole blues And the clowns are laughing today! It feels sort of strange Like some kinda of trick, That I should feel such estrange For someone who could never quite stick. But now, here's the clowns! Here's my money...what is it? Let's see.. They're all pointing and standing around? Oh, how funny!.........The clowns, They're laughing at me! Timothy I. Brumley
