lyrics

Dr. Klaun

He’s a doctor and a clown
And that’s a dangerous combination
Jokes away all illnesses
Oh, he’s a cunning professional
Stumbling over his flappy shoes
Right in the lap of some well build
Desperate mama
It’s no secret
That a lot of these Klaun’s bastards
Are running around
With evil red hair
And big awful feet

Dr. Klaun
Let’s no one down
Always a joke at hand
Give them
What they want to believe

Got the itching powder
And the false trumpets
For any awkward situation
Gets away with everything
A master of evasion
A flower on his coat
That will sprinkle water
In the face of it’s victim
Making it look like an accident
A while loudly excusing
Fumbling for your wallet

Dr. Klaun
Let’s no one down
With a lipstick smile
Make all the pain
Go away

Ain’t following no Hippocratic oath
Just make sure his customers
Stay desperate and hungry
For that magical cure
Some say life ain’t no joke
But the doctor he begs to differ
In his checkered pants
Got a real big syringe
With some pink stuff inside
That will make you laugh
Till the Kingdom’s Comes

Dr. Klaun
