"Clown's Tambourine" lyrics
"Clown's Tambourine"
I'm sitting back
Stage and I'm
So nervous, I can't see straight
I'm wondering
Why I do
It then I think
Hey, stupid
Not such a bad
It's a pretty good
Good gig after all
Come listen while I play
My clown's tambourine
Jangling in the lights
And flashing for all to see
Put on a show for you
In my clown suit for you
I'll be your funny guy
You'll see no tears on me
Come listen while I play
My clown's tambourine
Jangling in the lights and flashing for all to see
I'll run around wild for you
Jump up and down for you
I'll be the jester and you'll
See no tears on me
Come listen while I play
My clown's tambourine
I'm sitting here
In a funny old
Costume and I'm
Feeling like a
Old vaudeville
Minstrel show
Entertainer in a white face, black face
Funny face, make you laugh
Nothin' but a disgrace, disgrace
Hey clown in the brown suit
Sit down, you're holding up the show
Pissing everybody off, you know
Flying off the trapeze
I hope you catch me
Juggling lots of balls
Walking on stilts
In these hallowed halls
Come listen while I play
My clown's tambourine
Jing-jangling in the lights and flashing for all to see
Put on a show for you
In my clown suit for you
I'll be your funny guy
You'll see no tears on me
Come listen while I play
My clown's tambourine
Reflecting in the lights
Flashing for all to see
Put on a show for you
With my clown suit on
I'll be the funny man
There'll be no tears on me
The she-freak screams
The sheik meek geek beams
And they're all laughing with me
Try not to feel so bleak
Never show em that you're weak
While I just sing hey hey hey
The hairy-pitted she-freak screams
The heavy petting sheik meek beams and dreams
Trying hard not to feel so bleak
Never, ever show em that you're weak
They're all around me
Seems so sleek
I got nothing but
I just dream
I just dream, dream, dream
With my tambourine
Come listen while I play
My silver tambourine
Reflecting in the lights
Flashing for all to see
I'll put on a show for you
In my clown suit
I'll be your funny man
Won't see no tears on me
Come listen while I play
My clown's tambourine
Jangling in the lights
And flashing for all to see
I will run wild for you
Jump up and down for you
I'll be the jester and you'll
See no tears on me
Come see listen while I play
My clown's tambourine
