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

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

I would lead a big parade downtown

& see you standin' there

& 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 big parade downtown

If I could have my way

Just once a year, there'd be a day

A special day, a holiday for clowns

A special day, a holiday for clowns
