See them make the children laugh

See the painted smile

Acting out their pantomime

Scheming all the while.

Everybody loves a clown

Boys and girls attracted

Funny noses, floppy shoes

So easily distracted.

Under make-up evil lurks

Many clowns have lied

Circus hides their secret sins

The wickedness inside.

The audience sees funny suit

Pratfalls, comic walk

They're blind to clown's iniquity

With kids too scared to talk.

Kids who come to see the fun

Lured by promised laughter

Kids who see the REAL clown's face

Scarred for ever after.

It's such a shame the big top tent

A place of hope and favour

Should be a home for Satan's lust

For clowns to wildly savour.
