[Verse 1]
Isn't it rich? Are we a pair?
Me here at last on the ground
You in mid air
Send in the clowns
Send in the clowns
[Verse 2]
Isn't it bliss? Don't you approve?
One who keeps tearing around
One who can't move
Where are the clowns?
Where are the clowns?
Send in the clowns
[Bridge]
Just when I'd stopped opening doors
Finally knowing the one that I really wanted was yours
Making my entrance again with my usual flair
Sure of my lines, no one is there
[Verse 3]
Don't you love farce?
My fault, I fear
I thought that you'd want what I want
Sorry, my dear
Where are the clowns?
Send in the clowns
Don't bother, they're here
[Instrumental break]
[Bridge]
Just when I'd stopped opening doors
Finally knowing the one that I really wanted was yours
Making my entrance again with my usual flair
Sure of my lines, no one is there
[Verse 4]
Isn't it rich? Isn't it queer?
Losing my timing this late in my career?
Where are the clowns?
Where are the clowns?
[Outro]
It's plain to see, the laugh's on me
So, get the gooniest goons
Find the looniest loons
Call the silly buffoons
Send in the clowns
Send those clowns
