Judy Garland - Be A Clown (feat. Gene Kelly) Lyrics
I'll remember forever, when I was but three,Mama, who was clever remarking to me:"If, son, when you're grown up, you want everything nice,I've got your future sewn up if you take this advice:Be a clown,Be a clown,All the world loves a clownAct the fool, play the calfAnd you'll always have the last laugh,Wear the cap and the bellsAnd you'll rate with all the great swells,If you become a doctor, folks'll face you with dread,If you become a dentist, they'll be glad when you're dead,You'll get a bigger hand if you can stand on your head.Be a clown, be a clown, be a clown!Be a clown,Be a clown,All the world loves a clownBe a crazy buffoonAnd the 'demoiselles'll all swoon,Dress in huge baggy pantsAnd you'll ride the road to romance,A butcher or a baker ladies never embrace,A barber for a beau would be a social disgrace,They all'll 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 clownBe the poor silly assAnd you'll always travel first class,Give 'em quips, give 'em fun,And they'll pay to say you're A-1,If you become a farmer you've the weather to buck,If you become a gambler, you'll be stuck with your luckBut jack you'll never lack if you can quack like a duck,Be a clown, be a clown, be a clown!
