Once he was so famous, that little old clown

Everybody used to know his name

Now he's a nameless but happy old guy

The children laugh if only he goes by

When the sun is shining, he goes to the park
Bb A Dm
Climbs the empty bandstand on the green
Dm C
Doing for the children his famous routine
Bb A
So they still laugh when slowly he walks home
