Send in the Clowns

Songtext

[Verse 1] Ann Marie, broad as a Sunday parade, Walked down Memory Lane in the shade. She bumped into Lenny, with a grin and a bow, A fellow she'd wanted since years ago. [Pre-Chorus] The birds and the bees came fluttering through, They tied up their ribbons and joined the two. One wild little family, loud as can be, With a house full of stories and room for Rory! [Chorus] Oh, send in the clowns—and the cousins as well, There’s Tootin and Poopin with tales they can tell! Toilets and memories, tumbling around, Holly and Rory go leaping and bound. What a commotion, what a parade, A crazy big family that love has made! [Verse 2] The bathroom door rattled, the laughter took flight, A plumbing-sized story was told half the night. They swapped old memories, each one more absurd, While Holly kept hopping and Rory concurred. [Pre-Chorus] Lenny brought cake, Ann Marie brought the cheer, The birds brought a nest and the bees brought a year. They gathered together, a curious crew, With one more surprise in the loo! [Chorus] Oh, send in the clowns—and the cousins as well, There’s Tootin and Poopin with tales they can tell! Toilets and memories, tumbling around, Holly and Rory go leaping and bound. What a commotion, what a parade, A crazy big family that love has made! [Bridge] When the old years come calling, they pull up a chair, There’s room at the table and jokes in the air. From Memory Lane to the bathroom door, This family keeps finding one laugh more! [Final Chorus] Oh, send in the clowns—and the cousins as well, There’s Tootin and Poopin with tales they can tell! Toilets and memories, tumbling around, Holly and Rory go leaping and bound. What a commotion, what a parade, A crazy big family that love has made! [Outro] Ann Marie and Lenny, the whole gang in tow, Wherever they wander, the laughter will go.
