 (Goodbye cruel
world)
  (Goodbye cruel world)

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

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)


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

Goodbye cruel
world
FADE

Goodbye cruel world

Goodbye cruel
world
