Patti Labelle - Send in the Clowns featuring Pamela Williams on the sax[Live at Apollo NYC 1991]
Amazing, spiritual, original, emotional and soulful.

Song from the New York Opera "A Little Night Music" special of 1990 with Sally Ann Howes and George Lee Andrews. Some artists like Barbra Streisand, Judy Collins, Shirley Bassey, Elizabeth Taylor did covers of this song.

Isn't it rich?
Are we a pair?
Me here at last on the ground,
You in mid-air.
Send in the clowns.

Isn't it bliss?
Don't you approve?
One who keeps tearing around,
One who can't move.
Where are the clowns?
Send in the clowns.

Just when I'd stopped opening doors,
Finally knowing the one that I wanted was yours,
Making my entrance again with my usual flair,
Sure of my lines,
No one is there.

Don't you love farce?
My fault I fear.
I thought that you'd want what I want.
Sorry, my dear.
But where are the clowns?
Quick, send in the clowns.
Don't bother, they're here.

Isn't it rich?
Isn't it queer,
Losing my timing this late
In my career?
And where are the clowns?
There ought to be clowns.
Well, maybe next year.

  • i mean patti is a little too young to sing this song- it is reserved for diva's in the midst of thier careers- thats when the words will speak for themselve- no acting or dancing.

  • NAMASTE PATTI & THANK YOU  MUSICAL BLESSINGS :)

  • I love Patti but she overdoes this song. It's best done in a simple way and one of her notes was sharp at 1:59.

  • @obyano it's on her live video "LIve in New York". check patti's website.

  • One of the sweetest hearts to have ever walked the planet.

  • love love love love her way of doing this song, she put some umppphhh!! in it!! soul and sassy. I LIKE THIS WAY TOO!

  • how can i get a dvd copy?

  • this band is SOMETHING ELSE!!!

  • two of my loves destined to come together: Patti Labelle and Stephen Sondheim! tres magnifique!

  • Please keep this up
