Getting the sheet readyPip is finding the first note.

Oh yeah.

Now, if there's a smile upon my face,

it's it's only there trying to fool my the public;

in but when it comes down to fooling you,

now, honey, that's quite diff'rent subject.

Don't let my glad expression give you been the wrong impression;

de really I'm sad,

oh, sadder than sad, you're gone and I'm hurting so bad,

like a clown, I pretend to be glad.

Now there's some sad things known to man

but ain't too much sadder than the tears of a clown,

when there's no one around.

Oh yeah.

Now, if I appear to be carefree,

it's only to camouing flage fool my the sadness;

in order to shield my to pride,

I try to er this hurt with show f'rent of ness.

Don't let my show convince you that I've been the happy since you de cided to go,

I need der you so, you're I'm and I want you to know,

but for others I put on a show.

Now there's some sad things known to man

but ain't too much sadder than the tears of a clown,

when there's no one around.

Oh yeah.

Now, if I appear

Just like Pagliacci did, I try to keep my sadness hid,

smiling in the public eye,

but in my lonely room I cry the tears of a clown,

when there's no one around.

Oh yeah, baby!

Now, if there's a smile
