The Kinks - d**h of a clown - stereo album version lyrics

My makeup is dry and it clags 'round my chin I'm drowning my sorrows in whiskey and gin The lion tamers whip doesn't crack anymore The lions they won't fight and the tigers won't roar So, let's all drink to the d**h of a clown Won't someone help me to break up this crown Let's all drink to the d**h of a clown Let's all drink to the d**h of a clown The old fortune teller lies dead on the floor Nobody needs fortunes told anymore The trainer of insects is crouched on his knees And frantically looking for runaway fleas Let's all drink to the d**h of a clown So, won't someone help me to break up this crown Let's all drink to the d**h of a clown Let's all drink to the d**h of a clown
