Manfred Mann clown around on an early music video clip from la tele en France dans les annees soixantes.
Does it make you laugh? like "ha Ha " funny-- Like a clown? Does it amuse you?
Seriously though, this is a very catchy tune (also done by the Yardbirds on the Little Games LP)
Written by P. Wainman - H. Spiro -
HA HA SAID THE CLOWN
Manfred Mann
Chorus
Ha ha said the clown
Has the king lost his crown,
Is the night being tight on romance
Ha ha said the clown
Is it bringing you down,
That you've lost your chance
Feeling low, gotta 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
Chorus
In a trance, watch her dance
to the beat of the drums
Faster now, sweating brow,
I'm all the fingers and thumbs
Wonder why I hit the sky
When she blows me a kiss
In a while run a mile
I'm regretting all this
Chorus
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 round
Could have died she replied
"I'm the wife of the clown"
Chorus

Real good stuff! I play this song for some 40 years since it was released in 1967. I was a young boy then. Listen to their other nice songs "Mighty Quinn" & "Pretty Flamingo". MM is truly talented.Thanks for the uploading.
