[Chorus]
A clown, a clown
I think I'll be a clown
I think I'll make the people laugh and laugh all over town
A clown, that's what I'll be, a clown

[Verse 1]
Sometimes I feel when I'm afraid
That I will never make the grade
So I pretend I'm someone else
And show the world my other self
I'm not quite sure of me, you see
When I have to make a clown of me

[Chorus]
A clown, a clown
I think I'll be a clown
I think I'll make the people laugh and laugh all over town
A clown, that's what I'll be, a clown

[Verse 2]
Sometimes I feel all good inside
And haven't got a thing to hide
My friends all tell me, I'm the best
They think I'm better than the rest
It's times like this I act myself
And I let the clown stay on the shelf
[Chorus]
Myself, myself
I think I'll be myself
I think I'll let the people see the comfortable inside of me
Myself, I'll be myself

[Outro]
It's only when I feel let down
I might be scared into a clown
But he can be himself
When I can be myself, myself
I think I'll be myself
