Oh, a clown's no good unless he laughs so come on my friend and make me laugh

Oh, a clown's no good unless he laughs

Come on my friend don't you be mellow be a jolly fellow for me

For life has been a trying day now come on laugh you know how

And when I cry make my day sunny do something funny for me

And when I'm high on joyous laughter I won't think about after till then

Oh, a clown's no good unless he laughs so come on my friend and make me laugh

Oh, a clown's no good unless he laughs

Hand me a glass I'll serve myself Joe, I want no one to know I'm drunk

And when I'm smashed just lay me down friend and spread a wide grin and laugh

Our days are here there's nowhere to run so I will drink some and hope

They'll disappear but it does me no good and I know I should be home

Oh, a clown's no good unless he laughs so come on my friend and make me laugh

Oh, a clown's no good unless he laughs
