Wait there is already one in the white house
there is a madness going forth through are nation
The climatic taunt of an old sensation
Send in the clowns

Barnum Bailey is going out of business going South with Joe
you will see them in are streets
some wearing strange decorum
Trying to scare everybody

Is it any wonder you got to much time on your hands
the police know about these sightings
so for now there in hiding
Send in the clowns

A whole host of a form of amusement
You will see them on billboards
movies make a mockery of them
perhaps it's best the hold my breath and count to the number ten

the circus made a killing off them
some retire
Streisand sang about them
People get scared by the looks of them
