I’ll remember forever,  
When I was but three,  
Mama, who was clever,  
Remarking to me;  
If, son, when you’re grown up,  
You want ev’rything nice,  
I’ve got your future sewn up  
If you take this advice:

Be a clown, be a clown,  
All the world loves a clown.  
Act a fool, play the calf,  
And you’ll always have the last laugh.  
Wear the cap and the bells  
And you’ll rate with all the great swells
