Writer(s): sondheim Isn't it rich, aren't we a pair Me here at last on the ground - you in mid-air Send in the clowns Isn't it bliss, don't you approve One who keeps tearing around - one who can't move But where are the clowns - send in the clowns Just when i 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 a farce; my fault i fear I thought that you'd want what i want - sorry my dear But 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 are to be clowns where are the clowns Well maybe next year
