A fan’s lament or An owner’s soliloquy, I can’t decide which
by RussIs - n't it rich? Aren't we a pair?
Me here at last on the ground, and you in mid-air --Â
Send in the clowns.Â
Is - n't it bliss? Don't you approve?
One who keeps tear - ing around, and one who can't move.Â
But where are the clowns? Send in the clowns.
Just when I stopped opening doors,Â
Finally knowing the one that I wanted was yours;Â
Making my entrance again with my usual flair,Â
Sure of my lines -- no one is there.Â
Don't you love farce? My fault, I fear;Â
I thought that you'd want what I want - sorry my dear.Â
But where are the clowns? Quick, send in the clowns.Â
Don't bother, they're here.
Is - n't it rich? Is - n't it queer,Â
Los - ing my tim - ing this late in my career?Â
But where are the clowns? There ought to be clowns...
Well, maybe next year.
"Send in the Clowns" words and music by Stephen Sondheim.
