Feelin' so strange
I gotta wonder what it could be
I've got make-up on
Just what is happening to me

Shoot at you with my seltzer spray (spray-spray-spray)
I'll throw a crème pie at you today (day-day-day)
Late in my bedroom every night
I put on a red wig, and practiced juggling, and make balloon pets so I say

I think I'm a clown now
When you cheer up kids you can't ever feel down
I think I'm a clown now
I'm called bozo by everyone in town

Look at the way
All the children when they smile
So happy today
I'll stay a little while

I still remember how I began (gan-gan-gan)
Back when I was a regular man (man-man-man)
Practicing hard every night
Practice tight rope walking on the clothesline or ride a unicycle so I say

I think I'm a clown now (a clown now)
Cheering up parents and kids that are feeling down
I think I'm a clown now (a clown now)
I'm the best at making people happy in town

I think I'm a clown now (a clown now)
Everyday I'm always travelin' around
I think I'm a clown now (a clown now)
Into helping to turn a frown upside down

Feelin' so very very grand
I'm the funniest man in the land
People laughing at the way I'm dressed
With baggy pants, rainbow suspenders, and floppy size twenty shoes so I say

I think I'm a clown now
I perform at the local big top in town
I think I'm a clown now
To help cheer you up when you're feelin' down

I think I'm a clown now (a clown now)
I think I'm worthy of the comedy crown
I think I'm a clown now (a clown now)
Because I'm greater than any other clown

I think I'm a clown now (a clown now)
I will always be acting and joking around
I think I'm a clown now (a clown now)
At least until I'm buried underground

I think I'm a clown now (a clown now)
