Ha! Ha! Said the Clown Lyrics

HA HA SAID THE CLOWN - Manfred Mann
This song had chart success going to the Top 5
The Yardbirds did a cover of this song
Chorus:
Ha ha said the clown has the king lost his crown,
has the night been tight on romance
Ha ha said the clown easy bringing me down,
Am ? E - Am
that you've lost your chance
Feeling low, gotta go see a show in town
Hear the jokes, have a smoke, and a laugh at the clown
In a whirl, see a girl with a smile in her eyes
Never thought I'd be brought right down by her lies
Chorus:
Ha ha said the clown has the king lost his crown,
has the night been tight on romance
Ha ha said the clown easy bringing me down,
Am ? E - Am
that you've lost your chance
In a trance, watch her dance to the beat of the drums
Faster now, sweating brow, I'm all the fingers and thumbs
Wonder why I hit the sky when she blows me a kiss
In a while run a mile I'm regretting all this
Chorus: Ha, Ha said the clown.....
Take your coat, close the show, wish the people good-bye
Grab my coat, grab my hat, look that girl in the eye
Where's your home, What's your phone stop fooling around
Could have died she replied "I'm a wife of the clown"
2 x Refrain: Ha ha said the clown
