A Sad Clown

Now that you are grown
 You might be considering a profession
 You'll be leaving home
 It's hard to admit you've got some questions
 I know that we've grown apart
 But I want to tell you with my heart:
 Do what you love, 'cause you only get paid in lessons.
 Yeah yeah
 Your mama's just a sad sad clown
 How long has she been around?
 There's work to be done
 There's no time for her to slow down
 Your mama's just a sad sad clown
 You'd think she'd have figured it out by now
 And passed on the news to you
 You'd think she'd have given it up somehow,
 But what else is she gonna do?
 Your mama's just a sad sad clown
 When I was alone
 I never wondered about the ending
 Lonely to the bone,
 Still I had no intention of bending
 They all tried to tell me who I'd be
 I was building this old clown that you see
 If push comes to shove,
 I don't wanna be caught pretending ___
 Yeah yeah yeah
 Your mama's just a sad sad clown
 How long has she been around?
 There's work to be done
 It's too late for her to slow down
 Your mama's just a sad sad clown
 There's no joy in Mudville to be found
 There's no money in it, no reknown
 No pieces to pick up off the ground
 Your mama's just a sad sad clown
 Your mama's just a sad sad clown
 Your mama's a just a sad sad clown
 How long has she been around?
 There's work to be done
 There's no time for her to slow down
 Your mama's just a sad sad clown
