A Sad Clown Songtext
von Julie Christensen

Now that you are grown
You might be considering a profession
You′ll be leaving home
It's hard to admit you′ve got some questions
I know that we've grown apart
But I want to tell you with my heart:
Do what you love, 'cause you only get paid in lessons.
Yeah yeah
Your mama′s just a sad sad clown
How long has she been around?
There′s work to be done
There's no time for her to slow down
Your mama′s just a sad sad clown
You'd think she′d have figured it out by now
And passed on the news to you
You'd think she′d have given it up somehow,
But what else is she gonna do?
Your mama's just a sad sad clown
When I was alone
I never wondered about the ending


Lonely to the bone,
Still I had no intention of bending
They all tried to tell me who I'd be
I was building this old clown that you see
If push comes to shove,
I don′t wanna be caught pretending ___
Yeah yeah yeah
Your mama′s just a sad sad clown
How long has she been around?
There's work to be done
It′s too late for her to slow down
Your mama's just a sad sad clown
There′s no joy in Mudville to be found
There's no money in it, no reknown
No pieces to pick up off the ground
Your mama′s just a sad sad clown
Your mama's just a sad sad clown
Your mama's a just a sad sad clown
How long has she been around?
There′s work to be done
There′s no time for her to slow down
Your mama's just a sad sad clown
Sad Sad Clown
Sad Sad Clown
