Laugh everyone at the clown

He's the best one in town, Ummm ummm

Ride on his merry-go-round

Spinning faster than sound

Uuuuh huh Uuuuh huh



Laugh as the funny man cries

Though his makeup is smeared

Uuuuh huuuh

Laugh at his funny pictures

As he [paints out the years?]

Uuuuh huh Uuuuh huh



Livin' just a little

Laughing just a little

Ain't easy, Uuuuuh huuuuh



Livin' just a little

Laughing just a little

Ain't easy



Laugh everyone at the fool with his heart in his hand

Uuuuh huuuh

Mmmmm, he can't quite understand that he's less than a man

Uuuuh huuuh Uuuuh huuuh



[?] there's an ember of pride

Uuuuh huuuh

Watch how he tries hard to hide that he's dying inside

Uuuuh huuuh

Uuuuh huuuh



Livin' just a little

Laughing just a little

Ain't easy, Uuuuuh huuuuh



Livin' just a little

Laughing just a little

Ain't easy



Livin' just a little

Laughing just a little

Ain't easy, Uuuuuh huuuuh



Livin' just a little

Laughing just a little

Ain't easy
