Newsflash Singers - Happy Heart Broken Clown Lyrics

I'm a Clown in a Circus and it's my job
To make the kiddies laugh
I ride on a Horse or an Elephant's back
And slide down the neck of a Giraffe

But it's hard to be funny when your heart is breakin'
It's hard to be steady when your world is shakin'
It's hard to be jolly when your life is crumblin'
And your world is tumblin' down
It's hard to be a happy, heart broken Clown

Well I love my job and I loved my girl
But she loved another guy
She ran away and left me all alone
Now I make others laugh while I cry

I put on my makeup and I do my best
To go through my routine
But behind this mask they can't see the sorrow
Caused by the way you treated me mean
