Abbey Lincoln

Laugh, Clown, Laugh
Life is a play and we all play a partThe lover, the dreamer, the clownThe dreamer and lover are always in tearsThe clown spreads sunshine aroundThe life with a smile is the life worthwhileThe clown till the curtain comes downEven though you're only make believingLaugh, clown, laugh!Even though something inside is grievingLaugh, clown, laugh!Don't let your heart grow too mellowJust be a real punchinello, fellowYou're supposed to brighten up a placeAnd laugh, clown, laugh!Paint a lot of smiles around your faceAnd laugh, clown, don't frownDressed in your best colored humorBe a pallietto and laugh, clown, laugh!
