Stephen SondheimAbout
In this cover of the signature song from Stephen Sondheim’s 1973 musical, A Little Night Music, Barbra Streisand sings the role of Desiree. The song is a wry lament from a woman stymied to find that just when she’s ready to return the love of the man who has been pining for her, he’s moved on. The w...
Send In the Clowns Lyrics
[DESIREE]
Isn't it rich?
Aren't we a pair?
Me here at last on the ground
You in mid-air
Send in the clowns
Isn't it bliss?
Don't you approve?
One who keeps tearing around
One who can't move
Where are the clowns?
Send in the clowns
Just when I'd stopped opening doors
Finally knowing the one that I wanted was yours
Making my entrance again with my usual flair
Sure of my lines
No one is there
Don't you love farce?
My fault, I fear
I thought that you'd want what I want
Sorry, my dear
But where are the clowns?
There ought to be clowns
Quick, send in the clowns
What a surprise!
Who could foresee
I've come to feel about you
What you felt about me?
Why only now when I see
That you've drifted away?
What a surprise
What a cliché
Isn't it rich?
Isn't it queer
Losing my timing this late
In my career?
And where are the clowns?
Quick, send in the clowns
Don't bother, they're here

Stephen Sondheim has said:
I get a lot of letters over the years asking what the title means and what the song’s about; I never thought it would be in any way esoteric. I wanted to use theatrical imagery in the song, because she’s an actress, but it’s not supposed to be a circus […] [I]t’s a theate...
