Send in the Clowns

Send In The Clowns

-Judy Collins

Isn't it rich?

Are 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'd 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 fear.

I thought that you'd want what I want...

Sorry, my dear!

And where are the clowns

Send in the clowns

Don't bother, they're here.

(------ Music ------)

Isn't it rich?

Isn't it queer?

Losing my timing this late in my career.

And where are the clowns?

There ought to be clowns...

Well, maybe next year.
