Manfred Mann - Ha! Ha! Said The Clown lyrics

Ha! Ha! Said the clown
Has the king lost his crown?
Is the night being tight on romance?
Ha! Ha! Said the clown
Is it bringing you down
That you've lost your chance?

Feeling low, gotta go, see a show in town
Hear the jokes, have a smoke
And a laugh at the clown in a whirl
See a girl with a smile in her eyes
Never thought I'd be brought right
Down by her lies

In a trance
Watch her dance to the beat of the drums
Faster now, sweating brow
I'm all the fingers and thumbs
Wonder why I hit the sky when
She blows me a kiss in a while, run a mile
I'm regretting all this

Ha! Ha! Said the clown
Has the king lost his crown?
Is the night being tight on romance?
Ha! Ha! Said the clown
Is it bringing you down
That you've lost your chance?

Time to go, close the show
Wave the people goodbye
Grab my coat, grab my hat
Look that girl in the eye
Where's your home, what's
Your phone number, Stop fooling 'round
Could have died, she replied
"I'm the wife of the clown"

Ha! Ha! Said the clown
Has the king lost his crown?
Is the night being tight on romance?
Ha! Ha! Said the clown
Is it bringing you down
That you've lost your chance?

Ha! Ha! Said the clown
Has the king lost his crown?
Is the night being tight on romance?
Ha! Ha! Said the clown
Is it bringing you down
