Sad Clown Blues on YouTube

A song about a guy who's dad was a clown and all the kids loved him.
He wanted to be just like his dad but now all the kids are scared of clowns.
He's thinking maybe he should've been a dollmaker.

Sad Clown Blues

My daddy was a circus entertainer.
He loved to make the kiddies laugh.
So when I grew up it was a no-brainer. I'd carry on on his behalf.
He said, "I'm gonna teach ya son all the tricks in how it's done,
and you could carry on the cheer.
He didn't quite foresee how the world was gonna be,
and clowns would one day cause fear.

It's a sad clown that can't be like his daddy.
(Although I've paid my dues,) (I cannot walk in his big shoes).
I am now bound to drive the people crazy
just living my sad clown blues.

I wake each day, apply my trademark makeup,
but paint my smile upside down.
There's no parties to attend since the breakup
of the circus tents in town.
And when I wander down the street in my oversized big feet
the kiddies cling to mama's side.
It's so hard feeling proud when they're screaming right out loud no matter how my makeup's applied.
