Lyrics
Even though you're only make-believing
Laugh, clown, laugh
Even though something inside you's grievin'
Laugh, clown, laugh
Don't let your heart grow too mellow
Just be a real punchin' up fellow
You're supposed to brighten up the place
And laugh, clown, laugh
Can't afford to show them what you're feelin'
Laugh, clown, don't frown
Don't let the world know your sorrow
Be a belly at all
Laugh, clown
Laugh, clown
Laugh, clown
Laugh
Don't they must suspect you're masquerading
Laugh, clown, laugh, clown
They don't wanna see your bright mind fadin'
Laugh, clown, laugh, clown
Give them their phony expressions
Go on creating those false impressions
Never let your lips be too revealin'
Laugh, clown, laugh
Can't afford to show them what you're feelin'
Laugh, clown, don't frown
Cause trouble cannot last forever
Play the fool, be clever
Laugh, clown
Laugh, clown
Laugh, clown
Laugh
