He's not the greatest man the world has known But everybody likes the clown He leaves behind him a thousand laughs Everybody loves the clown He finds himself a little friend He waves to someone else We need you, need you See you, see you And underneath the pain, he maybe sad But everywhere they see the clown And on the face they see, he makes them laugh He never wants to bring you down He finds himself a little friend He waves to someone else We need you, need you See you, see you See him, watch him, on the trampoline Under, over, hear the children scream He's not the greatest man the world has known But everybody likes the clown He leaves behind him a thousand laughs Everybody loves the clown He finds himself a little friend He waves to someone else We need you, need you See you, see you
