King of Clowns (悲しきクラウン) -------- Neil Sedaka   (1962)

Here I come, the king of clowns
As I hide behind a smile and paint the town
Tho' I cry since you're gone
You'll never know because the show must go on
I've been sad, I've been blue
Ever since the day that you find someone new
I pretend but you can't tell
With my broken heart
I play my part so well

*
Step aside, here I come, the king of clowns
As I hide the lonely teardrops that come down
I make beleave with a smile
But the king of clown is crying all the while
Ta la la la . . . Ta la la la
Here I comes the king of clowns
Ta la la la . . . Ta la la la
Here I comes the king of clowns

There are tears you'll never see
No,You'll never see my tears and pity me
Tho' I'm hurt, still I'm proud
Always laughing as I walk amongst the crowd

*repeat
