Laugh, Clown, Laugh Lyrics

Even though you're only make believin',
Laugh clown laugh
Even though something inside is grieving, laugh clown, laugh
Don't let your heart grow too mellow,
Just be a real punch-a-nellow, fellow

You're supposed to brighten up the place,
And laugh clown, laugh
Paint a lot of smiles upon your face
And laugh clown, don't frown
Don't let the world know your sorrow,
Be a pal-e-atto

Laugh clown
Laugh clown
Laugh clown, laugh

Though they must suspect you're masquerading,
Laugh clown, laugh clown
They don't wanna see your bright smile fading, laugh clown, laugh clown
Give them their phoney expressions,
Go on, creating those false impressions

Never let your looks be too revealing,
Laugh clown, laugh
Can't afford to show them what you're feeling, laugh clown, don't frown
Cause trouble can not last forever,
Play the fool be cleaver

Laugh clown
Laugh clown
Laugh clown, laugh
