Lyrics

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh
Isn't it rich?
Are we a pair?
Me, here at last on the ground
You, in mid-air
Send in the clowns
Send in the clowns
Isn't it bliss?
Don't you approve?
One who keeps tearing around (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
One who can't move (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
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 (Sure of my lines)
No one is there
Don't you love farce? (Don't you love farce?)
My fault I fear (My fault I fear)
I thought that you'd want what I want
Sorry my dear
And where are the clowns?
(Where are the clowns?)
Quick, send in the clowns
(Send in the clowns)
Don't bother, they're here
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ah, ah, ah
Ooh, ah, ah, ah
Isn't it rich?
Isn't it queer?
Losing my timing this late
In my career
And where are the clowns?
There ought to be clowns
(Ought to be clowns)
Well, maybe next year (Ooh)
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Send in the clowns
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Send in the clowns
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Send in the clowns
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Send in the clowns
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Send in the clowns
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Send in the clowns
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Send in the clowns
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Send in the clowns
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Send in the clowns
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Send in the clowns
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
