Laugh, Clown, Laugh - Abbey Lincoln

Life is a play and we all play a part\nThe lover, the dreamer, the clown\nThe dreamer and lover are always in tears\nThe clown spreads sunshine around\nThe life with a smile is the life worthwhile\nThe clown till the curtain comes down\nEven though you’re only make believing\nLaugh, clown, laugh!\nEven though something inside is grieving\nLaugh, clown, laugh!\nDon’t let your heart grow too mellow\nJust be a real punchinello, fellow\nYou’re supposed to brighten up a place\nAnd laugh, clown, laugh!\nPaint a lot of smiles around your face\nAnd laugh, clown, don’t frown\nDressed in your best colored humor\nBe a pallietto and laugh, clown, laugh!\n«Laugh, Clown, Laugh» as written by Ted Fiorito, Sam M. Lewis, Joe Young\nLyrics Warner/Chappell Music, Inc.\nLyrics powerd by LyricFind
