AMy friends!

To the wine and to the Estage!

If you squander your Eprecious D♯and Dbeautiful days,

DTo the Equitters and the Acomplainers,

Dif we never meet agaiEn

remember whAen –G♯- F♯ A

Aall the world was a stage dive,

all the world loved a Eclown,

knowing how the clown Dhated them

and all the clowns in the housAe G♯ F♯ E

EstarF♯ed upG♯ at Athe stage.

They used to get soE mad.

The had such a good Dthing that day

but at the last minute iAt juG♯st soF♯rt ofE went bad.

AThey lost their nerve,

EThey just went straight.

DThey didn’t have the balls to hold it down and

they brought everybody else right down with them

While clowns must stand.

So welcome.

Welcome to the scene!

You’ve all got to come out and have a drink with me. I’ll buy round one,

you buy round two,

you buy round three.

We’ll make a toast to absent friends

and better days,

to remembering and being remembered as brave

and not as a bunch of whining jerks.

To the quitters and the complainers,

if we never meet again remember this –-

All the world is a stage dive

All the world loves a clown.

You know that clowns hate them and

how hard it is to get a clown out of the house

and up on the stage.

But tonight you’ve come, you’re here, I’m so glad.

Don’t forget how it feels kids and don’t crap out.

Don’t lose your nerve.

Do not go straight.

You must testify or

I’m going to come to your house to

punch you in the mouth

‘cause clowns must stand.

When a clown goes straight all clowns are hurt. When a clown abandons his passion

all his friends end up with egg on the face.

Clowns must stand.
