Here I come, the king of clowns 
As I hide behind this smile and paint the town 
Though I cry since you're gone 
You'll never know because the show must go on 

I've been sad (I've been sad) I've been blue (I've been blue) 
Ever since the day that you found someone new (someone new) 
I pretend but you can't tell 
With my broken heart I play my part so well 

Step aside, here I come, the king of clowns 
As I hide the lonely teardrops that come down 
I make believe with a smile 
But the king of clowns is crying all the while 

Tra-la-la-la-la-la-li-lo 
Tra-la-la-la-la-la-li-lo 
Here comes the king of clowns 
Tra-la-la-la-la-la-li-lo 
Tra-la-la-la-la-la-li-lo 
Here comes the king of clowns 

There are tears (there are tears) you'll never see (never see) 
No you'll never see my tears and pity me (pity me) 
Though I'm hurt, still I'm proud 
Always laughing as I walk among the crowd 

Step aside, here I come, the king of clowns 
As I hide the lonely teardrops that come down 
I make believe with a smile 
But the king of clowns is crying all the while 

Tra-la-la-la-la-la-li-lo 
Tra-la-la-la-la-la-li-lo 
Here comes the king of clowns 
Tra-la-la-la-la-la-li-lo 
Tra-la-la-la-la-la-li-lo 
Here comes the king of clowns 

Tra-la-la-la-la-la-li-lo 
Tra-la-la-la-la-la-li-lo 
Here comes the king of clowns...
