Judy Garland Be A Clown lyrics

I`ll remember forever, when I was but three,

Mama, who was clever remarking to me:

"If, son, when you`re grown up, you want everything nice,

I`ve got your future sewn up if you take this advice:



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 with all the great swells,

If you become a doctor, folks`ll face you with dread,

If you become a dentist, they`ll be glad when you`re dead,

You`ll get a bigger hand if you can stand 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`ll 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,

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 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!
