Lyrics Be a Clown - Judy Garland

Be a clown, be a clown
All the world loves a clown
Show 'em tricks, tell 'em jokes
And you'll always top the top folks
Dress in huge baggy pants
And you'll ride the road to romance
A butcher or a baker, ladies never replace
A barber for a ball would be a social disgrace
They'll all come to call if you can fall on your face
Be a clown, be a clown, be a clown
Be a clown, be a clown
All the world loves a clown
Be a crazy buffoon
And the demoiselles will all swoon
Be a crack jack an ace
And they'll imitate you like apes
Why be a great composer with your rent in arrears
Why be a major poet and you'll owe it for years
When crowds will pay to giggle if you wiggle your ears
Be a clown, be a clown, be a clown
Be a clown, be a clown
All the world loves a clown
Be the poor silly has
And you'll always travel first class
Give 'em flips, give 'em fun
And they'll pay to say you're A-1
If you become a farmer, you've no leather to buck
If you become a gambler, you'll be stuck with your luck
But jack you'll never lack if you can quack like a duck
Be a clown, be a clown, be a clown
Be a clown, be a clown, be a clown
