VERSE

I'll remember forever,
4
When I was but three,
5
Mama, who was clever.
6
Remarking to me"¦.

If son when you're grown up
8
You want ev'rything nice
9
I've got your future sewn up
10
If you take this advice"¦

REFRAIN 1
12
Be a clown, be a clown
13
All the world loves a clown
14
Act the fool play the calf
15
And you'll always have the last laugh
16
Wear the cap and the bells
17
And you'll rate with all the best swells
18
If you become a doctor, folks'll face you with dread
19
If you become a dentist, they'll be glad when you're dead
20
You'll get a bigger hand if you can stand on your head
21
Be a clown, be a clown, be a clown.
22
REFRAIN 2
23
Be a clown, be a clown
24
All the world loves a clown
25
Be a crazy buffoon
26
And the demoiselles'll all swoon
27
Dress in huge baggy pants
28
And you'll ride the road to romance
29
A butcher or a baker ladies never embrace
30
A barber or a beau would be a social disgrace
31
They all'll come to call if you can fall on your face
32
Be a clown, be a clown, be a clown
33
REFRAIN 3
34
Be a clown, be a clown
35
All the world loves a clown
36
Show "˜em tricks tell "˜em jokes
37
And you'll only stop with top folks
38
Be a crack jackanapes
39
And they'll imitate you like apes
40
Why be a great composer with your rent in arrears?
41
Why be a major poet and you'll owe it for years?
42
When crowds'll pay to giggle if you wiggle your ears
43
Be a clown, be a clown, be a clown
44
REFRAIN 4
45
Be a clown, be a clown
46
All the world loves a clown
47
If you just make "˜em roar
48
Watch your mountebank soar
49
Wear a painted moustache
50
And you're sure to make a big splash
51
A college education I should never propose
52
A bachelor's degree won't even keep you in clo'es
53
But millions you will win if you can spin on your nose
54
Be a clown, be a clown, be a clown
55
REFRAIN 5
56
Be a clown, be a clown
57
All the world loves a clown
58
Be the poor silly ass
59
And you'll always travel first class
60
Give "˜em quips, give "˜em fun
61
And they'll apy and say you're A1
62
If you become a farmer you've the weather to buck
63
If you become a gambler you'll be stuck with your luck
64
But Jack you'll never lack if you can quack like a duck
65
(Quack, quack, quack, quack)
66
Be a clown, be a clown, be a clown.
