Sides face grand square
Everybody loves a clown so why don't you?
Everybody laughs at the things that I say and do
Allemande left your corner, weave the ring
They all laugh when they see me coming
Swing, promenade
Everybody loves a clown so why can't you?

Heads (Sides) promenade halfway around
Square thru 4 hands
Swing thru, boys run
Couples circulate, half tag
Swing that corner, promenade
Everybody loves a clown so why can't you?

Sides face grand square
I joke around at a party when you are there
You don't look you don't laugh you just don't care
Allemande left and weave the ring
If ya wonder why this clown is crying
Take a closer look inside I'm dying
It's not easy to be in love, you see?

Sides face grand square
I don't know how to say I love you
Cause you would smile and say tell a joke or two
Allemande your corner and weave round the ring
Yes I'm a clown I don't want to be
Why can't you see the other side of me?
I guess I'll be the guy who plays the part
Of the clown with the broken heart
