Isn't  it rich? Aren't  we a pair?
Me  here at last  on the ground, and you in  mid-air
 Where are  the clowns.
Isn't  it bliss? Don't  you approve?
One  who keeps tearing  around, and one who can't move.
 But where are  the clowns?  Send in  the clowns.
Just  when I stopped, opening doors,
Finally knowing  the one that I wanted  was yours;
Making  my entrance  again, with my usual flair,
Sure  of my lines, no  one is there.
Don't  you love farce? My  fault, I fear;
I  thought that you'd  want what I want - sorry my dear.
 But where  are the clowns?  Quick, send  in the clowns.
 Don't bother, they're here.
Isn't  it rich? Isn't  it queer,
Losing  my timing  this late, in my  career?
 But where  are the clowns?  There ought  to be clowns
Well, maybe next year.

Is  - n't  it rich? Aren't we  a pair?
Me here  at last  on the ground,  and you in  mid-air
Where are  the clowns.
Is  - n't  it bliss? Don't you  approve?
One who  keeps tearing  around,  and one who  can't move.
But where  are the clowns? Send in the clowns.
Just  when I stopped, opening doors,
Finally knowing  the one  that I wanted  was yours;
Making  my entrance  again, with my usual flair,
Sure  of my lines, no  one is there.
Don't you  love farce? My fault,  I fear;
I  thought  that you'd want  what I want  - sorry  my dear.
 But where are  the clowns? Quick, send in  the clowns.
Don't bother, they're here.
Is  - n't  it rich? Is  - n't  it queer,
Los  - ing  my tim  - ing this late,  in my  career?
 But where  are  the clowns?  There ought to be clowns
Well, maybe next year.
