SEND IN THE CLOWNS
Frank Sinatra
(Stephen Sondheim)

 - (From "A Little Night Music")
   (From the album:  Ol' Blue Eyes Is Back
   Originally released:  October, 1973)

Isn't it rich? Are we a pair -
Me here at last on the ground, you in midair?
Send in the clowns.
Isn't it bliss? Don't you approve -
One who keeps tearing around, one who can't move?
Where are the clowns? Send in the clowns.

Just when I'd stopped opening doors
Finally knowing the one that I wanted was yours.
Making my entrance again with my usual flair.
Sure of my lines.   No one is there.

Don't you love farce?  My fault, I fear.
I thought that you'd want what I want.
Sorry, my dear.
But where are the clowns? Send in the clowns.
Don't bother, they're here.

Isn't it rich?  Isn't it queer -
Losing my timing this late in my career?
Where are the clowns?  There ought to be clowns.
Well, maybe next year.
