Laugh, Clown, Laugh

Life is a play and we all play a part

The Lover, the Dreamer, the Clown

The Dreamer and Lover are always in tears

The Clown spreads sunshine around

The life with a smile is the life worthwhile

The Clown till the curtain comes down



Even though you're only make believing

Laugh, Clown, laugh!

Even though something inside is grieving

Laugh, Clown, laugh!

Don't let your heart grow too mellow

Just be a real Punchinello, fellow



You're supposed to brighten up a place

And laugh, Clown, laugh!

Paint a lot of smiles around your face

And laugh, Clown, don't frown

Dressed in your best coloured humour

Be a pallietto and laugh, Clown, laugh!
