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,

Where are the clowns? Isn't it bliss?

Don't you approve?

One who keeps tearing around, one who can't move,

Where are the clowns?

There ought to be 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!

But where are the clowns, 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

But where are the clowns?

There ought to be clowns

Well, maybe next year...
