There should be a holiday for clowns    There should be a big parade downtown    So girls like you could see    What fools you've made of guys like me    A day that clowns don't have to hide    The feelings that they have inside, oh       There should be a holiday for clowns    A day for guys like me to paint the town    Festive clown affair    To make believe that we don't care    A special day, a holiday for clowns       Time after time I have tried to say goodbye to you    But somehow, when I try to leave you    I just can't go; I love you so       If there could be a holiday for clowns    I would lead a big parade downtown    & see you standin' there    & tell myself that I don't care    But we both know that that's not true    Tomorrow I'll be back lovin' you, oh       There should be a holiday for clowns    There should be a big parade downtown    If I could have my way    Just once a year, there'd be a day    A special day, a holiday for clowns    A special day, a holiday for clowns
