Baby Hates Clowns - Randy Stonehill
|
|
Oh my girl loves surprises / So I bought a pair of tickets / And we went to see the greatest show
|
on earth / Where everybody comes to have a really good time / Underneath the big top / Oh she
|
seemed so delighted with the lions and the tigers / And the men on the flying trapeze / Oh, but
|
when the clowns come around / She clinches her fists / She looks as if she's catching a disease
|
/ Baby hates clowns and the tricks they do / Baby hates clowns in their great big shoes / Baby
|
hates clowns with their polka dot clothes / Baby hates clowns with their big red nose / Now I get
|
a little nervous every time that the circus comes to town / I don't know why baby hates clowns /
|
Well, I gingerly suggested she was over-caffeinated / Or perhaps she had a simple case of nerves
|
/ She said as she glared at me with eyes like knives / You gotta a lot to learn, boy / So, I quick
|
dropped the subject like a flaming hot potato / But it didn't bring her any relief / Oh and it's so
|
hard to pretend everything is just swell / When she's muttering and grinding her teeth / Baby
|
hates clowns with their stubby cigars / Baby hates clowns in their little toy cars / Baby hates
|
clowns when they tumble and they flip / Baby hates clowns with their painted on lips / Now it's
|
no exaggeration and there's not an explanation I have found / I don't know why baby hates clowns
|
/ She gets so traumatized / And I feel paralyzed / In the midst of her psycho drama / I don't
|
know what to do / It's such a mystery / All this hostility / I tell her she should lighten up / But
|
all she does is tighten up and come unglued / It's so unsettling / My girl loves surprises but
|
I never realized / She was vexed with a complicated mind / And I'm not sure whether it's a
|
colorful quirk or some flavor of dementia / How I wish I could say there was a moral to
|
the story / Something cute about venting her angst / Oh, but let the truth be known, I'm in the
|
twilight zone / Some guy dressed up like bozo gets the thanks / Baby hates clowns, it's truly
|
bizarre / Baby hates clowns, just the way they are / Baby hates clowns, man it's making me nuts
|
/ Baby hates clowns, she hates their guts / Now I get a little nervous every time that the circus
|
/ I get a little nervous every time that the circus / Get a little nervous every time the circus comes
|
to town / I don't know why baby hates clowns
