Isn`t it rich?
Are we a pair?
Me here at last on the ground,
you in midair...
Send in the clowns.
Isn`t it bliss?
Don`t you approve?
One who keeps tearing around,
one who can`t move...
Where are the clowns?
Send in the clowns.
Just when I`d stopped
opening doors,
Finally knowing the one that I wanted was yours,
Making my entrance again with my usual flair,
Sure of my lines,
No one is there.
Don`t you love farce?
My fault, I fear.
I thought that you`d want what I want.
Sorry, my dear.
But where are the clowns?
Quick, send in the clowns.
Don`t bother, they`re here.
Isn`t it rich?
Isn`t it queer?
Loosing my timing this late in my career?
And where are the clowns?
There ought to be clowns.
Well, maybe next year...
