Intro
Goodbye cruel world(x2)
Oh, goodbye cruel world, I'm off to join the circus.
Gonna be a broken-hearted clown.
Paint my face with a good-for-nothin' smile,
cause a mean, fickle woman, turned my whole world
upside down. (Goodbye cruel world.)
Farewell to love, I'm off to join the circus.
Gotta find, a way to hide my tears.
Bet I'll have them rolling in the aisle,
and I'll forget that woman, if it takes a hundred years.
Goodbye cruel world.
Chorus
Oh, oh, oh, step right up and take a look at a fool.
He's got a heart as stubborn as a mule.
C'mon everybody, he's good for a laugh.
And no one could tell his heart is broken in half.
Well, the joke's on me, I'm off to join the circus.
Oh, Mr. Barnum, save a place for me.
Shoot me out of a cannon, I don't care.
Let the people point at me and stare.
I'll tell the world that woman, wherever she may be,
that mean, fickle woman, made a cryin' clown outta me.
(Goodbye cruel world.)
(INTERLUDE:)
Shoot me out of a cannon, I don't care.
Let the people point at me and stare.
I'll tell the world that woman, wherever she may be,
that mean, fickle woman, made a cryin' clown outta me.
