Lonely Clown

Oh! lonely clown look on with glee and spirit
Your make up hides your tiny unseen face
But the children they all Love you and why not ?
You are but kindred spirit with a special
magic feeling that draws them like a magnet
to your wraggle taggle trousers
your second hand black shoes...
Which all becomes your scenery
you performers never lose...
 

Oh! lonely clown why do they all despise you?
Are your colours too black and grey
Don't frown old boy I'm sure that they will
treat you with no distaste
While you're alive inside the centre ring
That circle where you do your tricks
Is waiting for you and your DOG Toto...
To run out and perform again

Your face lights up a thousand eyes
You will always bring happiness and surprise
With your wondrous smile
and your wriggly wraggly feet
Your multicoloured make up though
still really hides your real face
In your loneliness you are receding
Oh! I hope your in One piece
" Two minutes and your on ..."
You will not be lonely tonight!
