Joni Mitchell - Dancin’ Clown Lyrics

Words and music by joni mitchell No, you couldn’t call jesse a babe in the woods He’s just weak in self-defense ’cause he’s so thin skinned He can’t take a joke at his expense "you’re a push down window," says rowdy yates "i can run you up and down Anytime I want I can make you my dancin’-- My dancin’ clown!" You’re my dancin’ clown Dancin’ dancin’ My dancin’ clown Dancin’ You’re my dancin’ clown Dancin’ dancin’ dancin’ My dancin’ clown Rowdy yates is as bold as jove-- He’s all chide and snide and bluff-- Stuck in the romantic tradition Of acting rough and tough "you’re always charging thru," says jesse Nervous, lookin’ all around-- To see who’s seein’ him bein’ a dancin’ A dancin’ clown He’s a dancin’ clown Dancin’ dancin’ A dancin’ clown Dancin’ He’s a dancin’ clown Dancin’ dancin’ dancin’ A dancin’ clown Cherchez la femme Whenever love comes around Someone’s a dancin’ clown Cherchez la femme Whenever hearts start to pound Someone’s a dancin’ clown Down the street comes last-word suzie-- She’s high yellow--lookin’ top nice You hear the swoosh of jungle blades And the crackle of northern ice "hot damn!" says rowdy--lookin’ up "yum!" says jesse lookin’ down "how would you like to be her dancin’ Her dancin’ clown? " Be her dancin’ clown Dancin’ dancin’ Her dancin’ clown Dancin’ Be her dancin’ clown Dancin’ dancin’ dancin’ Her dancin’ clown Cherchez la femme Whenever love comes to town Someone’s a dancin’ clown Cherchez la femme Wherever hearts start to pound Someone’s a dancin’ clown Joni Mitchell Lyrics Dancin’ Clown Lyrics
