I've been sad (I've been sad) I've been blue (I've been blue). Ever since the day that you found someone new (someone new). I pretend but you can't tell. With my broken heart I play my part so well. Step aside here I come the king of clowns. As I hide the lonely teardrops that come down. I make believe with a smile. But the king of clowns is crying all the while. Tra-la-la-la-la-la-li-lo. Tra-la-la-la-la-la-li-lo. Here comes the king of clowns. Tra-la-la-la-la-la-li-lo. Tra-la-la-la-la-la-li-lo. Here comes the king of clowns. There are tears (there are tears) you'll never see (never see). No you'll never see my tears and pity me (pity me). Though I'm hurt still I'm proud. Always laughing as I walk among the crowd. Step aside here I come the king of clowns. As I hide the lonely teardrops that come down. I make believe with a smile. But the king of clowns is crying all the while. Tra-la-la-la-la-la-li-lo.
