| My | makeup is dry and it | cracks on my | chin |
| F | C | G | |
| I'm | drowning my sorrows in | whiskey and | gin |
| C | G | G7 | |
| The | lion tamer's whip doesn't | crack any | more |
| F | C | G | |
| The | lions they won't bite and the | tigers won't | roar |
| F | Dm | C | G | |
| La la la | La la la | La la la | La |
| Dm | C | G | |
| So | let's all drink to the | death of a | clown |
| C | G | G7 | |
| Won't someone help me to | break up this | crown |
| F | C | G | |
| Let's all drink to the | death of a | clown |
| La la la la la la la la la la |
| Let's all drink to the death of a clown |
| The old fortune teller lies dead on the floor |
| Nobody needs fortunes told anymore |
| The trainer of insects is crouched on his knees |
| And frantically looking for runaway fleas |
| La la la la la la la la la la |
| Let's all drink to the death of a clown |
| So won't someone help me to breakup this crown |
| Let's all drink to the death of a clown |
| La la la la la la la la la la |
| Let's all drink to the death of a clown |
| C | G | G7 | |
| La la la la la la | la la la | la |
