Isn't it rich, are we a pair Me here at last on the ground You in mid-air Where are the clowns Isn't it bliss, don't you approve One who keeps tearing around One who can't move Where are the clowns Send in the clowns Just when I'd stopped opening doors Finally knowing the one That I wanted was yours Making my entrance again With my usual flair
Sure of my lines, no one is there Don't you love farce, my fault, I fear I thought that you'd want What I want, sorry my dear And where are the clowns Send in the clowns Don't bother, they're here Isn't it rich, isn't it queer Losing my timing this late in my career But where are the clowns There ought to be clowns Well, maybe next year
