Gonzo the Clown - Esthetic Education

The circus is coming round in town

And I am wearing my red nose and white shoes

I’ve got make-up all over my face

I look like a clown, like such a fool

Well you laugh

You think that its funny

Well it’s not funny for me

I’m wearing my polyester suit

I’ve got all my tricks ready in my suitcase

I’ve got two spongy balls in my pocket

I’m going to make them disappear

Well you laugh

You think that I’m funny

Hello kids, its me its Gonzo

Gonzo the clown

Tonight I’m going to do a wonderful show for you

It’s going to be really, really funny

I hope you all like it

Yeah (oooh), Gonzo the clown

Well I’m looking at myself in the mirror

And I see the face of a fifty year old man

I think I’m such a looser

What have I done with life God gave me?

Well you smile

You think it’s funny to be a clown

Well it’s not funny for me

I’m thinking of my show and what I have to do

I’ve got hundreds of tricks but nobody laughs

I go on the stage and I’m not funny

I have no talent, I have no pride

Deep inside

It’s my tragedy

(Trumpet sound)

Hello everyone it’s me again, its Gonzo

That was my trumpet of joy

Alright lets try this one now

Have you ever heard the laugh of satan?

Satan laughs like this

Ah, hahah ha ha!

Well I’m sitting in my trailer and I’m thinking

I can’t go back again

I’m through with this

I quit

Hello kids, see you at tomorrow’s show, 7 pm
