I guess because my name is Bozo    I was destined to be a clown    But when I joined the traveling circus    I didn't think that it would bring me down    Make me angry like sniper in a tower    And every Saturday    I take off my nose and say never more       Pie in my face    Five days a workweek    It's in my face    Pie in my face    It sucks to be a clown       I should have been a lion tamer    Those guys get all the girls    In a cage in satin tights    In a mane of golden curls    Everybody loves the guy who lives in danger    But in the center ring    I'm safe from everything except for       Pie in my face    Five days a workweek    It's in my face    Pie in my face    It sucks to be a clown       The other night I dreamed of Arthur    Ex-human-cannonball    In the dream he asked the question    Do I fly or do I fall?    What's the difference    Either way he's still a dead man    And he's finally free    No longer has to be up on stage       Pie in my face    Five days a workweek    It's in my face    Pie in my face    It sucks to be a clown       Yeah it sucks to be a clown    Should have never been a clown    Cause it sucks to be a clown
