Lyrics Gonzo the Clown - Esthetic Education

Gonzo the Clown

The circus is coming round in town
And I am wearing my red nose and white shoes
I’ve got make-up all over my face
I look like a clown, like such a fool
Well you laugh
You think that its funny
Well it’s not funny for me
I’m wearing my polyester suit
I’ve got all my tricks ready in my suitcase
I’ve got two spongy balls in my pocket
I’m going to make them disappear
Well you laugh
You think that I’m funny
Hello kids, its me its Gonzo
Gonzo the clown
Tonight I’m going to do a wonderful show for you
It’s going to be really, really funny
I hope you all like it
Yeah (oooh), Gonzo the clown
Well I’m looking at myself in the mirror
And I see the face of a fifty year old man
I think I’m such a looser
What have I done with life God gave me?
Well you smile
You think it’s funny to be a clown
Well it’s not funny for me
I’m thinking of my show and what I have to do
I’ve got hundreds of tricks but nobody laughs
I go on the stage and I’m not funny
I have no talent, I have no pride
Deep inside
It’s my tragedy
(Trumpet sound)
Hello everyone it’s me again, its Gonzo
That was my trumpet of joy
Alright lets try this one now
Have you ever heard the laugh of satan?
Satan laughs like this
Ah, hahah ha ha!
Well I’m sitting in my trailer and I’m thinking
I can’t go back again
I’m through with this
I quit
Hello kids, see you at tomorrow’s show, 7 pm
