I guess because my name is Bozo I was destined to be a clown But when I joined the traveling circus I didn't think that it would bring me down Make me angry like sniper in a tower And every Saturday I take off my nose and say never more Pie in my face Five days a workweek It's in my face Pie in my face It sucks to be a clown I should have been a lion tamer Those guys get all the girls In a cage in satin tights In a mane of golden curls Everybody loves the guy who lives in danger But in the center ring I'm safe from everything except for Pie in my face Five days a workweek It's in my face Pie in my face It sucks to be a clown The other night I dreamed of Arthur Ex-human-cannonball In the dream he asked the question Do I fly or do I fall? What's the difference Either way he's still a dead man And he's finally free No longer has to be up on stage Pie in my face Five days a workweek It's in my face Pie in my face It sucks to be a clown Yeah it sucks to be a clown Should have never been a clown Cause it sucks to be a clown
