Smile and smile and smile again

Don't let those black tears ruin your make-up

Cheer and cheer and cheer again

You must laugh as if you mean it

*

The children around

Need you to be fun

So be a good clown

And throw a nice pun

*

Smile and smile and smile again

Don't let that dark frown smear the bright lines

Cheer and cheer and cheer again

You must laugh as if you mean it

*

The parents around

Paid you to be fun

So be a good clown

And throw a nice pun

*

Another happy day to fake

Has fallen on your plate

With bright balloons and hugs and cake

That never fits your taste

*

The parents around

Want you to be fun

So be a good clown

And throw a nice pun

*

On this bright coloured and painted face I can only see

A sad smile
