Be a Clown (From "The Pirate")

Be a Clown - Gene Kelly/So What! (朱迪·嘉蘭)

Written by：Porter

I'll remember forever when I was but three

Mama who was clever remarking to me

Son when you're grown up and you want everything nice

I've got your future sewn up if you'll take this advice

Be a clown

Be a clown

All the world loves a clown

Show 'em tricks tell them jokes

And you'll only stop with top folks

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

They all'll 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 a crazy buffoon

And the 'demoiselles'll all swoon

Be a crack jackanapes

And they'll imitate you like apes

Why be a great composer with your rent in arrears

Why be a major poet and you'll owe it for years

When crowds'll pay to giggle if you wiggle your ears

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 'em quips give 'em fun

And they'll pay to say you're A 1

If you become a farmer you've the weather to buck

If you become a gambler you'll be stuck 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

Be a clown be a clown be a clown
