RCA Records in 1962.
INTRO: B
#1.
Here I come, the king of clowns..as I hide behind
this smile and paint the town.
Though I cry, since you're gone..you'll never know
because the show must go on.
#2.
I've been sad (I've been sad) I've been blue (I've been blue)..
ever since the day that you found someone new (someone new.)
I pretend, but you can't tell..with my broken heart I play
my part so well.
BRIDGE:
Step aside, here I come, the king of clowns..as I hide the
lonely teardrops that come down.
I make believe, with a smile..but the king of clowns is crying
all the while.
CHORUS:
Tra-la-la-la-la-la-li-lo..tra-la-la-la-la-la-li-lo..here comes
the king of clowns.
Tra-la-la-la-la-la-li-lo..tra-la-la-la-la-la-li-lo..here comes
the king of clowns.
#3.
There are tears (there are tears) you'll never see (never see.)
No, you'll never see my tears and pity me (pity me.)
Though I'm hurt, still I'm proud..always laughing as I walk among
the crowd.
BRIDGE:
Step aside, here I come, the king of clowns..as I hide the
lonely teardrops that come down.
I make believe, with a smile..but the king of clowns is crying
all the while.
CHORUS:
Tra-la-la-la-la-la-li-lo..tra-la-la-la-la-la-li-lo..here comes
the king of clowns.
Tra-la-la-la-la-la-li-lo..tra-la-la-la-la-la-li-lo..here comes
the king of clowns.
OUTRO:
Tra-la-la-la-la-la-li-lo..tra-la-la-la-la-la-li-lo..here comes
the king of clowns.
Tra-la-la-la-la-la-li-lo..(Fade.)
