Bozo's Lament

Lyrics

I guess because my name is Bozo
 I was destined to be a clown
 But when I joined the traveling circus
 I didn't think that it would bring me down
 Make me angry like sniper in a tower
 And every Saturday
 I take off my nose and say never more
 Pie in my face (pie in my face)
 Five days a workweek, it's in my face
 Pie in my face
 It sucks to be a clown
 ♪
 I should have been a lion tamer
 Those guys get all the girls
 In a cage in satin tights
 In a mane of golden curls
 Everybody loves the guy who lives in danger
 But in the center ring
 I'm safe from everything except for
 Pie in my face (pie in my face)
 Five days a workweek, it's in my face
 Pie in my face
 It sucks to be a clown
 ♪
 The other night I dreamed of Arthur
 Ex-human-cannonball
 In the dream, he asked the question
 Do I fly or do I fall?
 What's the difference?
 Either way he's still a dead man, and he's finally free
 No longer has to be up on stage
 Pie in my face (pie in my face)
 Five days a workweek, it's in my face
 Pie in my face
 It sucks to be a clown
 Yeah, it sucks to be a clown
 Should have never been a clown
 'Cause it sucks to be a clown
