Mike dAbo - Ha! Ha! Said the Clown 2010 (1967)

Mike dAbo - Ha! Ha! Said the Clown 2010

Original by Manfred Mann with vocalist Mike dAbo 1967

Ha ha said the clown
as the king lost the crown
he's the knight being tight on romance
Ha ha said the clown
is it bringing you down
that you've lost your chance

Feeling low got to go
see a show in town
hear the jokes have a smoke
and a laugh at the clown
In a whirl see a girl
with a smile in her eyes
never thought I'd be brought
right down by her lies

In a trance watch her dance
to the beat of the drums
Faster now sweating brow
and all my fingers are thumbs
wonder why I hit the sky
when she blows me a kiss
in a while run a mile
I'm regretting all this

Ha ha said the clown
as the king lost his crown
he's the knight being tight on romance
Ha ha said the clown
is it bringing you down
that you've lost your chance

(Instrumental)

Time to go close the show
wave the people good-bye
Grab my coat grab my hat
look that girl in the eye
Where's your home what's your phone
number stop fooling around
could have died she replied
"I'm the wife of the clown"

Ha ha said the clown
as the king lost his crown
he's the knight being tight on romance
Ha ha said the clown
is it bringing you down
that you've lost your chance

Ha ha said the clown
as the king lost his crown
he's the knight being tight on romance
Ha ha said the clown
is it bringing you down
that you've lost your chance

Ha ha ha ha ha ....

@angrysamoan666 No not at all. They're all still active in the business. Paul Jones and Tom McGuinness still tour regularly as members of the Blues Band. Manfred Mann's Earth Band still perform live regularly and Mike Vickers became a successful producer after leaving the band. As far as I know, he still produces/composes.

Its good to see that Mike is still his happy-go-lucky self. :) He still performs with a joy and passion for his work. Its good to see really.

Mike Hugg and his brother composed "Mister, You're a Better Man Than I" which was recorded by The Yardbirds in 1965, and is one of my favourite songs ~ tho' he is recorded as saying “Ha Ha Said The Clown” is one of the five worst songs that he had ever heard!
