funny man

look-a there

there he goes

ha

there goes the funny man

the life of the party

that's me

and they'd never guess

that i had a care

they'd be amazed to see me cry

when the party's through

cry over you

talk loud

funny man

in the crowd

funny man

you're in rare form today

leave em' laughing as you walk away

yeah

yeah

but they wouldn't laugh

if they only knew that i'll go home alone

to cry

cry the whole night through

cry over you

and who's to know that this clever clown

is really the fool of a town?

yes

who's to know the girl i loved

laughed when she turned me down?

so

tell a joke

funny man

be gay

funny man

don't give yourself away

funny man

pretend you didn't love her anyway

act as though nothin's wrong

wear good smile to go alone

then cry

cry the whole night through

'cause there's nothin' you can do
