Copied!
{Verse 1}
See the clown with his crown of melancholy
See him frown at the crowds who crept to slowly
He brings him down with his wit, created solely
For your enjoyment, how about the unemployment?
{Verse 2}
Big Bad Wolf doesn't say cert. to anybody
Shows his teeth in a grin but you know it's naughty
Who needs proof when he's understood by everybody
He's a big man, tells you when you can't and when you
Can be good cuz your gonna make it brother
Like you should without all the fuss and bother
You have stood all the tests do you need another
Just a listen
You know there's nothing missin'
{Scat Bridge}
Show your face
You know there's another place-
{Verse 3}
-for the clown standing with his rod of iron
Waving it around laughing to keep from crying
Make no sound cuz he doesn't know he's dying
And somewhere else, maybe he's honest with himself
{Scat Bridge and Outro}
Hippity-hop, Hippity-hop
Great, Green, Will, Stomp
