King of Clowns

King of Clowns - Neil Sedaka

Here I come the king of clowns

As I hide behind this smile

And paint the town

Though I cry since you're gone

You'll never know

Because the show must go on

I've been sad (I've been sad)

I've been blue (I've been blue)

Ever since the day that

You found someone new (someone new)

I pretend but you can't tell

With my broken heart

I play my part so well

Step aside here I come

The king of clowns

As I hide the lonely teardrops

That come down

I make believe with a smile

But the king of clowns is crying

All the while

Tra-la-la-la-la-la-li-lo

Tra-la-la-la-la-la-li-lo

Here comes the king of clowns

Tra-la-la-la-la-la-li-lo

Tra-la-la-la-la-la-li-lo

Here comes the king of clowns

There are tears (there are tears)

You'll never see (never see)

No you'll never see my tears

And pity me (pity me)

Though I'm hurt still I'm proud

Always laughing as

I walk among the crowd

Step aside here I come

The king of clowns

As I hide the lonely teardrops

That come down

I make believe with a smile

But the king of clowns is crying

All the while

Tra-la-la-la-la-la-li-lo

Tra-la-la-la-la-la-li-lo

Here comes the king of clowns

Tra-la-la-la-la-la-li-lo

Tra-la-la-la-la-la-li-lo

Here comes the king of clowns

Tra-la-la-la-la-la-li-lo

Tra-la-la-la-la-la-li-lo

Here comes the king of clowns
