(verse)
[cole]
i remember forever
when i was but 3
mama, who was clever
remarking to me

“if, son, when you’re grown up
you want everything nice
i’ve got your future sewn up
if you take this advice.”

(chorus 1)
be a clown, be a clown
all the world loves a clown
act a fool, play the calf
and you’ll always have the last laugh

wear the cap and the bells
and you’ll rate with all the great swells
if you become a doctor, folks’ll face you with dread
if you become a dentist, they’ll be glad when you’re dead
you’ll get a bigger hand if you can stand on your head

[executives]
be a clown, be a clown, be a clown
(chorus 2)
[louis]
be a clown!

[executives]
be a clown!

[louis]
all the world loves a clown
show ’em tricks

[executives]
tell ’em jokes
and you’ll only stop with top folks

[cole]
be a crack jackanapes

[executives]
and they’ll imitate you like apes

[louis]
why be a great composer with your rent in arrears?

[cole]
why be a major poet when you’ll owe it for years?
when crowds’ll pay to giggle if you wiggle your ears?
[executives]
be a clown, be a clown, be a clown!

(chorus 3)
be a clown, be a clown
all the world loves a clown
if you just make ’em roar
watch your monthly bank account soar

wear a painted mustache
and you’re sure to make a big splash

[louis]
a college education i should never propose
a bachelor’s degree won’t even keep you in clo’es

[cole]
but millions you will win if you can spin on your nose

[all]
be a clown, be a clown, be a clown!

(chorus 4)
[cole]
give ’em quips (give ’em quips!), give ’em fun (give ’em fun!)
[all]
and they’ll always say you’re a*1
if you become a farmer, you’ve the weather to buck
if you become a gambler, then you’re stuck with your luck

[cole]
but jack, you’ll never lack if you can quack like a duck

[louis]
quack, quack, quack!

[all]
be a clown, be a clown, be a clown!
