Be A Clown （Album Version）-Kevin Kline/Peter Polycarpou and Chorus/Chorus
Written by ：Cole Porter
I'll remember forever
When I was but three
Mama who was clever
Remarking to me
If son when you're grown up
You want ev'rything nice
I've got your future sewn up
If you take this advice
Be a clown be a clown
All the world loves a clown
Act a fool play the calf
And you'll always have the last laugh
Wear the cap and the bells
And you'll rate with all the great swells
If you become a doctor folks'll face you with dread
If you become a dentist they'll be glad when you're dead
You'll get a bigger hand if you can stand on your head
Be a clown be a clown be a clown
Be a clown be a clown
All the world loves a clown
Show 'em tricks tell 'em jokes
And you'll only stop with top folks
Be a crack jackanapes
And they'll imitate you like apes
Why be a great composer with your rent in arrears
Why be a major poet and you'll owe it for years
When crowds'll pay to giggle if you wiggle your ears
Be a clown be a clown be a clown
Be a clown be a clown
All the world loves a clown
If you just make 'em roar
Watch your mountebank account soar
Wear a painted mustache
And you're sure to make a big splash
A college education I should never propose
A bachelor's degree won't even keep you in clo'es
But millions you will win if you can spin on your nose
Be a clown be a clown be a clown
Give 'em quips give 'em fun
And they'll pay to say you're a1
If you become a farmer you've the weather to buck
If you become a gambler you'll be stuck with your luck
But jack you'll never lack if you can quack like a duck
Be a clown be a clown be a clown
