Pagliacci

[Verse]

Guy goes in to see a doc, says

"There's something wrong with me

I got a sadness I can't shake now

Is there something I can take now?"

Doctor has a think and says he

Might know just the thing

There's a performer here in town

And he's the world's greatest clown



[Chorus]

Laughter, as we all know, is the best medicine

Guy says, "Doc, that's the problem

What if I was to tell you I'm Pagliacci?

And this great big smile is just for show?

What if I was to tell you this is just grease paint?

Would you say I'm a hopeless case?

Say it ain't so

Would you say I'm a sad clown?

Tell me something I don't know"



[Instrumental Interlude]



[Chorus]

Laughter, as we all know, is the best medicine

Guy says, "Doc, that's the problem

What if I was to tell you I'm Pagliacci?

And this great big smile is just for show?

What if I was to tell you this is just grease paint?

Would you say I'm a hopeless case?

Say it ain't so

Would you say I'm a sad clown?

Tell me something I don't know

Would you say I'm a sad clown?

Tell me something I don't know"
