The Naked Clown

 

Ladies and gentlemen!

I give you,

the one

and only,

the super clown

of

The One-Man-Circus!

Please give him a hand.

 

Look Daddy, the clown is naked!

 

Thank you,

Says the red-pricked clown.

You're a  wonderful audience.

(The bloody light is shining right into my eyes!)

I can't see a thing.

You're a lovely crowd.

 

I'm a one-man-show…

(Isn't a man always alone?)

And I'm gonna sing you

A whole lotta songs.

Show you a great you dance!

And, I've got a bag full of tricks

that'll blow your mind.

If you have any.

 

No, this ain't no trick!

It's natural.

Honest.

Come a little closer

and feel it.

It doesn't bite.

Not so hard!

That's the trick.

 

Don't laugh, don't laugh.

Don't judge me by my size.

Let me get into the act

Of the ring of fire.

Then you'll see.

Then I'll grow

and I'll be good

for a whole damn night.

(Laugh all you bastards.

Watch me cry.

Jesus!

I'm so miserable,

wish I could die.)

What's this ass

Doing on the stage?

I asked for a tigress.

(What am I doing fucking with the animals?)

 

Come on up, kids,

I'll show you a dance.

It's called the Hump,

And goes like this.

Come on … let's hump again,

like we did list time.

Your turn,

now you hump.

Humphumphump.

Hump.

Oh, yeah, you're looking good.

You're all great humbers.

You like to hump?

Good.

One more time.

And then you go home,

alone

and hump yourself.

 

Tears?

No, no.

I'm not crying.

Hahaahh, haaahahahhh.

See?

The life's killing me!

I mean,

the light's killing me.

Come again tomorrow,

you hear?

I'll wear a brand new mask

and a brand new prick,

sing you brand new songs

and show you brand new tricks.

 

Thank you

and good-night,

all you

humpers!
