bring on the clowns

come all you merry makers

you wine drinkers and heart breakers

pass me the bottle one more round

come all of you love makers

all you cheaters and lie makers

fill me with happiness and bring on the clowns. there's a place around the corner and i can't wait to go

i can't stay away from there when i'm feeling low

running from my problems

cheating on my wife

acting like a hobo

running out on life. laughin loud

telling jokes

drinking to much wine

gathered 'round the table we're all one of a kind. some come all you merry makers

you wine drinkers and heart breakers

pass me the bottle one more round

come all of you love makers

all you cheaters and lie makers

fill me with happiness and bring on the clowns. i thought that i was happy till i saw you walkin' in

and through the loud and noisy crowd you reach out your hand

i know i shouldn't be here

i really don't belong

i'm proud that you still love me and you wanna take me home. goodbye you merry makers

you wine drinkers and heart breakers

i'll be gone when the bottle passes 'round

goodbye you love makers

all you cheaters and lie makers

you'll never miss me when you bring on the clowns. 'cause i'll be with my baby when you bring on the clowns
