I am a peaceful man
I do the best I can
But when the pain starts rainin' down
I find me a circus and I kill a clown
Take a painted-smile (No, not really)
And turn it upside down (No, not really)
Yeah it's fun, grab a gun (No, not really)
Kill a clown (No! No! No! No!)
I killed a clown from Kalamazoo
Made him choke on his own kazoo
I killed ten clowns in Zanzibar
Ran 'em off the road in their tiny car
Take a painted-smile (No, not really)
And turn it upside down (No, not really)
When you're bored, grab a sword (No, not really)
Kill a clown (No! No! No! No!)
I killed a clown from outer space
'Cause he was all up in my face
I killed a clown from the underground
It took a lead red shoe to bring him down
Take a painted-smile (No, not really)
And turn it upside down (No, not really)
Grab a sock full o' rocks (No, not really)
Kill a clown (No! No! No! No!)
Soon the cops were on my trail
They picked me up and they threw me in jail
Five minutes later, the chief came down
He said, "Let the man go -- he only killed a clown"
Take a painted-smile (No, not really)
And turn it upside down (No, not really)
Don't be scared, no one cares (No, not really)
Kill a clown (No! No! No! No!)
Don't be scared, no one cares (No, not really)
Kill a clown (No! No! No!)
