Send in the Clowns

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
