I guess because my name is Bozo
I was destined to be a clown,
But when I joined the traveling circus

I didn't think that it would bring me down
Make me angry like sniper in a tower
And every Saturday,

I take off my nose and say never more

Pie in my face

Five days a workweek
It's in my face
Pie in my face

It sucks to be a clown

I should have been a lion tamer

Those guys get all the girls
In a cage in satin tights
In a mane of golden curls

Everybody loves the guy who lives in danger
But in the center ring
I'm safe from everything except for


Pie in my face
Five days a workweek

It's in my face
Pie in my face
It sucks to be a clown


The other night I dreamed of Arthur
Ex-human-cannonball

In the dream he asked the question
Do I fly or do I fall?
What's the difference

Either way he's still a dead man
And he's finally free
No longer has to be up on stage


Pie in my face
Five days a workweek

It's in my face
Pie in my face
It sucks to be a clown


Yeah it sucks to be a clown
Should have never been a clown

Cause it sucks to be a clown
