E - Am that you've lost your chance Am E Feeling low, gotta go see a show in town Am E Am Hear the jokes, have a smoke, and a laugh at the clown Am E In a whirl, see a girl with a smile in her eyes Am E Never thought I'd be brought right down by her lies Chorus: D A D E Ha ha said the clown has the king lost his crown, A E A has the night been tight on romance D A D E Ha ha said the clown easy bringing me down, Am ? E - Am that you've lost your chance Am E In a trance, watch her dance to the beat of the drums Am E Am Faster now, sweating brow, I'm all the fingers and thumbs Am E Wonder why I hit the sky when she blows me a kiss Am E Am In a while run a mile I'm regretting all this Chorus: Ha, Ha said the clown..... Am E Take your coat, close the show, wish the people good-bye Am E Am Grab my coat, grab my hat, look that girl in the eye Am E Where's your home, What's your phone stop fooling around Am E Am Could have died she replied "I'm a wife of the clown" 2 x Refrain: Ha ha said the clown
