[Verse]
Guy goes in to see a doc, says
"There's something wrong with me
I got a sadness I can't shake now
Is there something I can take now?"
Doctor has a think and says he
Might know just the thing
There's a performer here in town
And he's the world's greatest clown
[Chorus]
Laughter, as we all know, is the best medicine
Guy says, "Doc, that's the problem
What if I was to tell you I'm Pagliacci?
And this great big smile is just for show?
What if I was to tell you this is just grease paint?
Would you say I'm a hopeless case?
Say it ain't so
Would you say I'm a sad clown?
Tell me something I don't know"
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Chorus]
Laughter, as we all know, is the best medicine
Guy says, "Doc, that's the problem
What if I was to tell you I'm Pagliacci?
And this great big smile is just for show?
What if I was to tell you this is just grease paint?
Would you say I'm a hopeless case?
Say it ain't so
Would you say I'm a sad clown?
Tell me something I don't know
Would you say I'm a sad clown?
Tell me something I don't know"
