This one used to be about a boy. But who needs boys when you got clowns, am I right? So this one's just about bein silly and my weird love for clowns. #singersongwriter #pop #girlwithguitar
Lyrics
People say I'm pretty funny They laugh at my jokes and I make a silly noise and my friends are on the ground in the blink of an eye I've always been a running gag I've always been the comic relief The one who's got it In the bag
my friends will look at me and suddenly start to laugh and it's like little cars and pies and things like that
I think I'm just a clown Some people are scared of me some people laugh and I could drive you crazy (x2)
The guys in my grade act funny one says that he's scared of me but that's my purpose my goal to get them all to scream and curl up in a ball and I laugh as they scream like little girls at my face my laugh makes them all run away and that's the game that I always play
The guys will look at me and run away like that and it's like popping balloons the creepy little laugh
I think I'm just a clown some people are scared of me some people laugh and I could drive you crazy (x2)
and all that bigtop got me on the center stage but it's all in my brain it's got me crazed I paint my face white go to school I've given up trying to be cool I'll make em all laugh I'll make em all scream maybe she's just as crazy as she seems
I think I'm just a clown some people are scared of me some people laugh and I could drive you crazy (x2)

I love this song! A total bop! You can’t help but groove along with it

Slide whistle = FAWM achievement unlocked! I love your irreverence for conventional song writing. The outcome is always fantastic.

Brilliant work. Fun and totally entertaining. Intoxicating, as expressed below, is a good description. Really appreciate the playfulness of the music and vocal delivery.

The playfulness and tunefulness of this is intoxicating. This for me is a type of "dance around the kitchen" song, the wordplay and rhymes support the nice melodic flow. The clown references, and the notion of people being scared of the main character as a clown, reminds me of this Deep Thought from Jack Handy: "Some people think clowns are kind of funny. I think they're scary. Maybe this stems from the time that we went to the circus, and a clown killed my dad."

Such a great tuneful toe-tapper. The slide whistle and other effects very much set the mood, but even without them, the guitar strumming on its own has a wacky upbeat (but also kind of dark) carnivalesque feel. I quite enjoyed the happy-but-disturbing funhouse mirror quality of this!
