Honky Tonk Clown

THEY THINK IT’S KINDA FUNNY
HOW YOU TREATED ME SO WRONG
YOU RUINED MY REPUTATION
AND YOU MADE MY HOUSE YOUR OWN
SO I’LL PUT ON ALL MY MAKEUP
AND I’LL WEAR SOME BAGGY CLOTHES
I’LL HEAD DOWN TO THE PLACE
WHERE EVERYBODY KNOWS

I'M YOUR HONKY TONK CLOWN
THEY'RE LAUGHING ALL OVER TOWN
YEAH, THEY’RE HAVING FUN
LOOK WHAT YOU’VE DONE
I'M YOUR HONKY TONK CLOWN

MY AUDIENCE IS ALL THE FOLKS
DOWN AT THE CORNER BAR
I JUGGLE SHOTS OF ALCOHOL
THEN I STUMBLE TO MY CAR
SOMETIMES I FALL DOWN THE STAIRS
AND LAND RIGHT ON MY FACE
I ALWAYS DO AN ENCORE
CAUSE I'M TEARING UP THE PLACE

‘CAUSE I'M YOUR HONKY TONK CLOWN
THEY'RE LAUGHING ALL OVER TOWN
YEAH, THEY’RE HAVING FUN
LOOK WHAT YOU’VE DONE
I'M YOUR HONKY TONK CLOWN

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK

SOMEDAY I'LL WORK UP THE NERVE
TO GET OUT OF THIS DIVE
WITH ALL THE TRICKS AND STUNTS I'VE DONE
IT'S A WONDER I'M ALIVE
SO I’LL TAKE MY ONE RING CIRCUS
TO THE HONKY TONKS AND BARS
IT’S HILARIOUS TO THINK THIS ACT
HAS TAKEN ME THIS FAR

‘CAUSE I'M YOUR HONKY TONK CLOWN
THEY'RE LAUGHING ALL OVER TOWN
YEAH, THEY’RE HAVIN’ FUN
LOOK WHAT YOU’VE DONE
I'M YOUR HONKY TONK CLOWN

I’LL SING ABOUT THE GOOD TIMES
AND I’LL SING ABOUT THE BAD
GOOD THING THAT YOU’RE GOOD IN BED
YOU’RE THE BEST I EVER HAD
THEN FINALLY WHEN I MAKE IT BIG
IT’S YOU I’LL HAVE TO THANK
YOU’RE GONNA HEAR ME LAUGHIN’ GIRL
ALL THE WAY TO THE BANK

‘CAUSE I'M YOUR HONKY TONK CLOWN
THEY'RE LAUGHING ALL OVER TOWN
YEAH, THEY’RE HAVIN’ FUN
LOOK WHAT YOU’VE DONE
I'M YOUR HONKY TONK CLOWN

HA HA HA HA (HA HA HA HA)
HA HAHA HA (HA HAHA HA)
HA HA HA HA (HA HA HA HA)
HA HAHA HA (HA HAHA HA)

GO AHEAD AND LAUGH!
