Lesson by Caroline Devane
Video won't play? Try here.
Isn't it rich, aren't we a _1_
Me here at last on the _2_ - and you in mid-air
Send in the clowns
Isn't it bliss, don't you _3_
One who keeps tearing around - and one who can't move
But where are the clowns - send in the clowns
Just when I stopped _4_ doors
Finally _5_ the one that I wanted - was yours
Making my _6_ again with my usual flair
So sure of my lines - then nobody's there
Don't you love a farce; my _7_ I fear
I thought that you'd want what I want - sorry my dear
But where are the clowns - there ought to be clowns
Maybe next _8_
Isn't it rich, isn't it queer
Losing my timing this late in my _9_
But where are the clowns - send in the clowns
Don't bother they're here
