Lyric Dancin Clown

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
