Send in the Clowns

Isn't it rich, aren't we a pair? Me here, at last on the ground You in mid-air Send in the clowns Isn't it bliss, don't you approve? One who keeps tearing around One who can't move Where are the clowns? Send in the clowns Just when I stopped opening doors Finally knowing the one that I wanted was yours Making my entrance again with my usual flair Sure of my lines, no one is there Don't you love farce? My fault, I fear I thought that you'd want what I want Sorry, my dear But where are the clowns? Send in the clowns Don't bother, they're here What a surprise, who could foresee? I've come to feel about you what you felt about me Why only now when I see that you've drifted away? What a surprise, what a cliche Isn't it rich, isn't it queer? Losing my timing this late in my career Where are the clowns? There oughta be clowns Well, maybe next year
