lyrics

Hey ho, lo and behold the cosmic harlequin
Entertain us to our disdain, comic harlequin
Some kind of costume is all you need you jester man
Call me charlatan, call me a king, each way I win

Many like me hold sway over you and other poor clowns
Your red nose glows and your big mouth turns down
We will run you out of every city, village and town
Here is another like you and he is wearing a gown

Bounce your balloon over to me and I will make it burst
If there’s a chance to skip the queue then I am the first

But you stood right up to me and showed me a better face
You clung to your flag of dignity at the top of the hill
You are the righteous winner in this particular race
Of pushing and shoving I have had my fill
Transformation beckons, rehabilitation
