Goodbye, Cruel World

(Goodbye, cruel world)

(Goodbye, cruel world)Oh, goodbye, cruel world, I'm off to join the circus

Gonna be a broken-hearted clown

Paint my face with a good-for-nothin' smile

'Cause a mean, fickle woman turned my whole world upside down(Goodbye, cruel world)Farewell to love, I'm off to join the circus

Gotta find a way to hide my tears

Bet I'll have them rolling in the aisle

And I'll forget that woman if it takes a hundred yearsOh, oh, oh, step right up and take a look at a fool

He's got a heart as stubborn as a mule

C'mon, everybody, he's good for a laugh

And no one could tell his heart is broken in halfWell, the joke's on me; I'm off to join the circus

Oh, Mr. Barnum, save a place for me

Shoot me out of a cannon, I don't care

Let the people point at me and stare

I'll tell the world that woman, wherever she may be

That mean, fickle woman made a cryin' clown outta me(Goodbye, cruel world)Shoot me out of a cannon, I don't care

Let the people point at me and stare

I'll tell the world that woman, wherever she may be

That mean, fickle woman made a cryin' clown outta meGoodbye, cruel worldGoodbye, cruel worldGoodbye, cruel worldGoodbye, cruel world
