Once he was so famous, that little old clown

Everybody used to know his name

The children laugh if only he goes by

When the sun is shining, he goes to the park
Bb A Dm
Climbs the empty bandstand on the green
Dm C
Doing for the children his famous routine
Bb A
So they still laugh when slowly he walks home
[Chorus]
