(Verse 1) Well, I woke up this morning, sun shining bright, Thought I'd be funny, bring some joy and light, Grabbed my big shoes and my polka-dot tie, Headed to a birthday, oh me, oh my! (Verse 2) The kids were all squealing, balloons in the air, I juggled some cupcakes, but they flew everywhere, Frosting on my face, what a ridiculous sight, But laughter's the goal, so I kept up the fight. (Chorus) But oh, it's a tough day, when you’re a clown on the run, Got a pie in the face, and I’m not having fun, Fast food in my pocket, a burger and fries, It’s a circus of chaos, under these big skies. (Verse 3) Now the parents were watching, sipping soda and tea, I tried to make jokes, but no one’s laughing at me, I tripped on my big shoes, fell right in the cake, Now I’m sticky and sad, man, what a big mistake. (Verse 4) Then I saw a celebrity, thought I’d steal a show, But all he could say was, “Can I take a photo?” So I posed like a goofball, with my nose painted red, He laughed, took a picture, but forgot what I said. (Chorus) Oh, it's a tough day, when you’re a clown on the run, Got a pie in the face, and I’m not having fun, Fast food in my pocket, a burger and fries, It’s a circus of chaos, under these big skies. (Bridge) The smell of the fries, they were cold and they stunk, Tasted like sadness, just a sad, salty funk, But I pressed on forward, with goo on my shoes, 'Til a kid threw a balloon, and I’m stuck with the blues. (Verse 5) So I wrapped up my act, with a twist and a bow, Said, “Thanks for the memories, it’s time to go!” But as I walked out, I heard the kids cheer, Even if I bombed, I brought them some cheer. (Chorus) Yeah, it’s a tough day, when you’re a clown on the run, With a pie in the face, and I’m still not having fun, Fast food in my pocket, a burger and fries, But I’ll keep on clownin’, under these big skies. (Outro) So here’s to the laughter, the joy, and the mess, Even clowns have their days, but I’m still feeling blessed, With a heart full of giggles, I’ll never disappear, Just a funny old clown, bringing smiles and some cheer!
