Dandy in Disguise - Steve Wynn

When he was born, he was scorned

It was sworn that he’d end up no good

He was torn from the womb much too soon

He’d go back if he could

Well look at the clown in his vest

Look at the clown, he looks his best

Step right up!

surprise!

It’s the dandy in disguise

Step right up, surprise

It’s the dandy in disguise

Always outrageous, never contagious

He’d sit home alone and he’d cry

Cause when a fool isn’t cool

They just hang him on a line and watch him die

Well look at the clown

He learned the score

Look at the clown

A clown no more

Step right up, surprise

It’s the dandy in disguise

And the dandy isn’t sure

That there’s a cure for his malaise

Another pie in the face

Another time and another place, yeah

Sometimes you get hurt in a flowered shirt

And big floppy boots

You get tired of the edge, back off from the ledge

And run home with the loot

Look at the clown

Something’s changed

Look at the clown

Rearranged

Step right up, surprise

It’s the dandy in disguise
