bring on the clowns
Come all you merry makers You wine drinkers and heart breakers Pass me the bottle one more round Come all of you love makers All you cheaters and lie makers Fill me with happiness and bring on the clowns.  There's a place around the corner and I can't wait to go I can't stay away from there when I'm feeling low Running from my problems, cheating on my wife Acting like a hobo, running out on life. Laughin loud, telling jokes, drinking to much wine Gathered 'round the table we're all one of a kind.  Some come all you merry makers You wine drinkers and heart breakers Pass me the bottle one more round Come all of you love makers All you cheaters and lie makers Fill me with happiness and bring on the clowns.  I thought that I was happy till I saw you walkin' in And through the loud and noisy crowd you reach out your hand I know I shouldn't be here, I really don't belong I'm proud that you still love me and you wanna take me home.  Goodbye you merry makers You wine drinkers and heart breakers I'll be gone when the bottle passes 'round Goodbye you love makers All you cheaters and lie makers You'll never miss me when you bring on the clowns.  'Cause I'll be with my baby when you bring on the clowns
