Isn't it rich? Aren't we a pair? Me here at last on the ground You in mid-air Send in the clowns Isn't it bliss? Don't you approve? One who keeps tearing around One who can't move Where are the clowns? Send in the clowns Just when I stopped opening doors Finally knowing the one That I wanted was yours Making my entrance again With my usual flair Sure of my lines No one is there Don't you love farce? My fault, I hear I thought that you'd want what I want Sorry my dear But where are the clowns? There ought to be clowns Quick send in the clowns! What a surprise! Who could foresee? I've come to feel about you What you felt about me Why only now when I see That you've drifted away What a surprise! What a cliche? Isn't it rich? Isn't it queer? Losing my timing this late In my career And where are the clowns? Quick send in the clowns Don't bother: They're here
