[Verse 1]
Isn't it rich?
Are we a pair?
Me here at last on the ground
You in mid-air

Send in the clowns

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
Don't you love a farce?
My fault, I fear
I thought that you'd want what I want
Sorry, my dear

But where are the clowns?
Send in the clowns
Don't bother
They're here

[Verse 5]
Isn't it rich?
Isn't it queer?
Losing my timing this late
In my career

Where are the clowns
There ought to be clowns
Well, maybe next year
