I guess because my name is Bozo I was destined to be a clown But when I joined the traveling circus I didn't think that it would bring me down Make me angry like sniper in a tower And every Saturday I take off my nose and say never more Pie in my face (pie in my face) Five days a workweek, it's in my face Pie in my face It sucks to be a clown ♪ I should have been a lion tamer Those guys get all the girls In a cage in satin tights In a mane of golden curls Everybody loves the guy who lives in danger But in the center ring I'm safe from everything except for Pie in my face (pie in my face) Five days a workweek, it's in my face Pie in my face It sucks to be a clown ♪ The other night I dreamed of Arthur Ex-human-cannonball In the dream, he asked the question Do I fly or do I fall?
