[Verse 1]
Watch your step, 'cause the light's low
Sit down, 'cause you're in for a big show, darlin'
If you're scared, keep your eyes closed
There's a buzz in the air, from the floor to the tightrope

[Pre-Chorus]
Stay a while, stay a while
'Cause you don't wanna tell us no
Stay a while, stay a while
We'll eat you up, we love you so

[Chorus]
Hotel for clowns
Talk to me nice or I'll let you drown
Baby, don't you frown
I told you that I'll meet you at the carousel at sundown
Ayy, so stay a while, stay a while
'Cause we ain't gonna let you go
Hotel for clowns
Talk to us nice or we'll make you drown
(Ha-ha, ha, ha)
Make you drown

[Verse 2]
Oh, my God, is that girl insane?
Something must've broke her brain
Oh, my God, will she be okay?
Cyanide and candy canes
[Pre-Chorus]
Stay a while, stay a while
'Cause you don't wanna tell us no
Stay a while, stay a while
We'll eat you up, we love you so

[Chorus]
Hotel for clowns
Talk to me nice or I'll let you drown
Baby, don't you frown
I told you that I'll meet you at the carousel at sundown
Ayy, so stay a while, stay a while (Stay a while, stay a while)
'Cause we ain't gonna let you go (We don't wanna let you go)
Hotel for clowns
Talk to us nice or we'll make you drown
(Ha-ha, ha, ha)
Make you drown
(Ha-ha, ha, ha)
Make you drown
