Lyrics for Song: Send In The Clowns
Lyrics for Album: Night Of Sass & Brass [2006]
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, I stopped openin' doors
Finally knowin' the one that I really wanted was yours
Making my entrance again and again with my usual flair
Sure of my lines, no one is there
Don't you love farce? My fault I fear
I thought that you'd want what I want
Sorry my dear
But where are the clowns
Quick send in the clowns
Don't bother they're here
Isn't it rich, isn't it queer?
Losing my timing this late in my career
And where are the clowns?
They are all to be clowns
Well may be next year, isn't it rich?
I'll repair, isn't it rich?

Send In The Clowns
Sarah Vaughan's rendition of 'Send In The Clowns' stands as a masterclass in vocal interpretation, showcasing her signature ability to imbue standard repertoire with profound emotional depth. Recorded for the 2006 album Night Of Sass & Brass, this performance highlights the legendary jazz vocalist's command over phrasing and tone. Vaughan, often celebrated as the First Lady of Song, approached this Sondheim classic with the same gravitas she applied to the Great American Songbook. Her delivery transforms the material into a poignant reflection on missed opportunities and irony, delivered with a warmth that defines her extensive discography. This recording captures the essence of her late-career artistry, blending sophisticated jazz sensibilities with the narrative weight of the composition to create a timeless listening experience. |
