Jeff's a downtown Circus Clown,
with his bumbling antics
and rib-tickling pranks
he'll never fail
to turn your frown upside down

[Haha!]

Little do you know
Jeff,
he hates the whole sparkling show -
the way he has to dress
gives him mounting humiliation
and unwanted stress

"Whoops-a-Daisy!"
he frequently falls down
"Whoops-a-Daisy!"
after all, he's just a sideshow Clown
that's depressed
and slowly going crazy

[Crazy?]

Yes -

After yesterday's burlesque,
Jeff went home, poisoned his dog,
and left its frothing on his dining room desk

after a few shots of whiskey,
at dusk,
still in his Clown suit
he teetered on the cusp -

'What does he do now?
Where should he go?"

And concluded he should re-visit the beloved Downtown Circus show.

In the morning,
he'll perform on the stage
hide seven tubs of explosive up his sleeve,
and in front of hundreds of laughing spectators
he'll let his whole body blow,
and the best bit of it is -

Nobody will even know.
