Lyrics
We're unfair to clowns
We're unfair to clowns
There's no reason to put them down.
Yet, they're grouped with crank fanatics
Who keep their aunts tied up in attics
But actually, they seem more down.
We're unfair to clowns
We're unfair to clowns
There's no reason to put them down.
They only seek to entertain
Your funny bone or, perhaps, your brain
When their pants fall to the ground.
We're unfair to clowns
It isn't fair to blame them
For the idiots you meet.
Clowns are performing artists
Whose families got to eat.
We're unfair to clowns
There's no reason to put them down.
So let us try not to cite them
In contemporary politics or social mayhem
Blaming them is out of bounds
We're unfair to clowns
