C         Dm               C
I guess because my name is Bozo
      Dm          C         Dm C
I was destined to be a clown
           Dm                   C
But when I joined the traveling circus
  Dm                         Em
I didn't think that it would bring me down
F       G            E7          Am
Make me angry like a sniper in a tower
          Am(maj7)
And every Saturday
Am7           D7           G          G6
I take off my nose and say never more

Fmaj7      G6add11
Pie in my face
     G6    Fmaj7
(Pie in my face)
            G6add11
Five days a workweek
     G6    Fmaj7
It's in my face
          G6add11
Pie in my face
mute
It sucks to be a clown

C Dm C

C             Dm          C
I should have been a lion tamer
      Dm       C             Dm C
Those guys get all the girls
     Dm            C
In a cage in satin tights
     Dm      Em
In a mane of golden curls
F    G              E7               Am
Everybody loves the guy who lives in danger
           Am(maj7)
But in the center ring
Am7           D7           G        G6
I'm safe from everything except for

Fmaj7      G6add11
Pie in my face
     G6    Fmaj7
(Pie in my face)
            G6add11
Five days a workweek
     G6    Fmaj7
It's in my face
          G6add11
Pie in my face
mute
It sucks to be a clown

          Dm                 C
The other night I dreamed of Arthur
   Dm    C         Dm    C
Ex-human-cannonball
       Dm                 C
In the dream he asked the question
     Dm     Em
Do I fly or do I fall?
F          G
What's the difference
       E7               Am
Either way he's still a dead man
         Am(maj7)
And he's finally free
Am7       D7        G          G6
No longer has to be up on stage

Fmaj7      G6add11
Pie in my face
     G6    Fmaj7
(Pie in my face)
            G6add11
Five days a workweek
     G6    Fmaj7
It's in my face
          G6add11
Pie in my face
mute
It sucks to be a clown

C Dm Em

        F             C    Dm Em
Yeah it sucks to be a clown
            F            C    Dm Em
Should have never been a clown
         F             G#   Bb C
Cause it sucks to be a clown
