Entertained by the acts from the street
Gathering numbers that hee-haw and hum
Guffaws from the glitter effete.
A dangerous motion, a rich man's delict
Acrobats shout as they sling
Illusionist twisting your minds with his tricks
We freaks from outside of the ring
Bodies and timing, impeccable throws
Sweat never making appearance
Blindfolded, anchoraged beasts to oppose
Till the clown makes the final appearance
A performance from one who can't utter a word
Master of sadness and sin
Who can't colour his day from the things that he's heard
Camaraderie smile painted in
The star of the show, the pedestal prince
Funny, foreboding to some
The ass of the class and in life ever since
Wearing endless mascara that runs

This is probably one of many uploaded to this post but with so many covers out there I'll stick to an audio of the original. One of my all time favourite songs. The words are just precious: SEND IN THE CLOWNS:
