There should be a holiday for clowns

There should be a big parade downtown

So girls like you could see

What fools you've made of guys like me

A day that clowns don't have to hide

The feelings that they have inside



Oh, there should be a holiday for clowns

A day for guys like me to paint the town

a festive clown affair

To make believe that we don't care

A special day, a holiday for clowns



Time after time I have tried to say goodbye to you

But somehow when I try to leave you

I just can't go

I love you so



If there could be a holiday for clowns (there should be a holiday)

I would lead the big parade downtown (I would the big parade)

And see you standing there

And tell myself that I don't care

But we both know that that's not true

Tomorrow I'll be back lovin' you



Oh, there should be a holiday for clowns (there should be a holiday)

There should be a big parade downtown (I would the big parade)

If I could have my way

Just once a year there'd be a day

A special day

A holiday for clowns
