## Beatbox Performance Lyrics

### Pennywise

Ready or not, here I come

You can't hide

I'm gonna find you

And eat you slowly

Ready or not, here I come

You can't hide

I'm gonna kill you

Just like little Georgie

+Beatbox Balloon Time to float

+Beatbox Balloon

### The Joker

Now this is the story all about how I made this clown turn upside down!!

What I'm about to do to you is just not fair, but I'm gonna take you down like all the kids you couldn't scare

+Beatbox Come on!

Why so serious

+Beatbox In a boxing ring in the other corner

The big clown with teeth like a gopher

If you wanna go in here you might go blind cause you'll find; I'm already out of my mind!!

Beatbox + Come on!

Why so serious?

You're a clown you should laugh like this

With the knocks, come on!
