Be a Clown

Be a Clown - Chris Connor/Clifford Brown (克利福德·布朗)/Jimmy Rowles

Be a clown be a clown

All the world loves a clown

Act the fool play the calf

And you'll always have the last laugh

Wear the cap and the bells

And you'll rate all the great swells

If you become a doctor

Folks will face you with dread

If you become a dentist

They will be glad when you're dead

You get a bigger hand

If you can fall on your head

Be a clown be a clown be a clown

Be a clown be a clown

All the world loves a clown

Be a crazy buffoon

And the demoiselles will all swoon

Dress in huge baggy pants

And you'll ride the road to romance

A butcher or a baker ladies never embrace

A barber for a beau would be a social disgrace

But they'll all come to call

If you can fall on your face

Be a clown be a clown be a clown

Be a clown be a clown

All the world loves a clown

Be the poor silly ass

And you'll always travel first class

Give them quips give them fun

And they'll pay to say you're A-one

If you become a farmer

You've the weather to buck

If become a gambler

You'll be struck with your luck

But Jack you'll never lack

If you can quack like a duck

Be a clown be a clown be a clown
