Dancin Clown — текст песни (Joni Mitchell)

Words and music by joni mitchell



No, you couldnt call jesse a babe in the woods

Hes just weak in self-defense

cause hes so thin skinned

He cant take a joke at his expense

"youre 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!"

Youre my dancin clown

Dancin dancin

My dancin clown

Dancin

Youre my dancin clown

Dancin dancin dancin

My dancin clown



Rowdy yates is as bold as jove--

Hes all chide and snide and bluff--

Stuck in the romantic tradition

Of acting rough and tough

"youre always charging thru," says jesse

Nervous, lookin all around--

To see whos seein him bein a dancin

A dancin clown

Hes a dancin clown

Dancin dancin

A dancin clown

Dancin

Hes a dancin clown

Dancin dancin dancin

A dancin clown



Cherchez la femme

Whenever love comes around

Someones a dancin clown

Cherchez la femme

Whenever hearts start to pound

Someones a dancin clown



Down the street comes last-word suzie--

Shes 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

Someones a dancin clown

Cherchez la femme

Wherever hearts start to pound

Someones a dancin clown
