Good-bye cru-el world,
I'm off to join the cir-cus
Gon-na be a bro-ken-heart-ed clown
Paint my face with a good-for-noth-in' smile
Be-cause a mean, fick-le wom-an
turned my whole world up-side down
Fare-well to love, I'm off to join the cir-cus
Got-ta find a way to hide my tears
Bet I'll have them a-roll-ing in the aisle
And I'll for-get that wom-an
if it takes a hun-dred years
Step right up, take a look at a fool
He's got a heart as stub-born as a mule
C'm-on ev-'ry-bod-y, he's good for a laugh
And no one can tell his heart is bro-ken in half
Well, the joke's on me,
I'm off to join the cir-cus
M-r. Bar-num, save a place for me
Shoot me out of a can-non, I don't care
Let the peo-ple point at me and stare
I'll tell the world that wom-an,
wher-ev-er she may be
That mean, fick-le wom-an
made a cry-in' clown out-ta me
