C                       G             G7
My makeup is dry and is cracked on my chin.
    F                      C          G
I'm drowning my sorrows in whisky and gin.
    C                         G        G7
The lion tamer's whip doesn't crack anymore.
    F                              C            G
The lions they won't fight and the tigers won't roar.

CHORUS:
F        Dm       Bb       Am7
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.
    F                      C          G
So, let's all drink to the death of a clown.

Won't someone help me to break up this crowd.

The old fortune teller lies dead on the floor.
F                     C       G
Nobody needs fortunes told anymore.
    C                     G               G7
The trainer of insects is crouched on his knees..
    F                       C       G
and frantically looking for runaway fleas.
