Bassey, Shirley - Send In The Clowns Lyrics






Isn't it riche?
Are we a pare?
Me here at last on the ground
You in me there
Send in the clowns

Isn't it bliss?
Don't you approve?
One who keeps tearing around?
One who can't move?
Where are the clowns?
Send in the clowns

Just when I stopped
Opening doors
Finally knowing the one that I wanted was yours
Making my entrance again with my usual flair
Sure of my lines
No one is there

Don't you love fuss?
My fault I fear
I thought that you'd want what I want
Sorry my dear
But where are the clowns
Quick send in the clowns
Don't bother there here

Isn't it riche?
Isn't it quirt?
Losing my timing this late
In my career
And where are the clowns
There are to be clowns
Well maybe next year

    lisa stansfield 1 4 u to cover plz

  13. S.... A....

    Last listened in 1988......but whispered many times in years.....And now on 14th Feb, 2018

  14. L.... A....

    What cheap theatrics. No need to send in the clowns. There is one center stage. Horrible! Ruined the song with her ridiculous gestures and overly dramatic delivery. The best songs are the ones sung simply without artifice.

    L.... A....

    nurse! he's out of bed again!

  15. P.... R....

    She is stunning !!

  16. A.... A....

    Buetiful song

  17. E.... E....

    Ich habe gänsehaut auf meinem körper..........sie ist einzigartig, eine diva, ein vorbild fuer mich.

  18. M.... M....

    Eccellente,fantastica,unica......💐

  19. s.... ....

    I love the way Shirley Bassey sung the song but she didn't finish the song there are more lyrics to this song than that I wonder why she didn't sing the whole song as all of Send In The Clowns is beautiful in my opinion

    s.... ....

    Stretch - If Shirley performed the whole song as it was included in the musical it would STRETCH to 7 minutes long. Shirley is singing it totally out of context from the musical and it has more of a POP flavor to it. Most POP songs don't go on that long. Regards, Scot

  20. E.... E....

    Amazing

  21. L.... M....

    Absolutely meserising and sublime performance. Thank you so much for posting this.

  22. S.... A....

    My young age fantasy

  23. P.... M....

    Outstanding.

  24. L.... P....

    La mejor interpretación que he tenido el placer de admirar de esta fantástica canción. Gracias, Shirley.

  25. a.... h....

    WAOW....THANK YOU SO MUCH BASSEY AND BE WELL.

  26. J.... M....

    Hay música que creemos no existe pero si existe ....

  27. n.... b....

    She's very classy.

  28. R.... M....

    I love this woman, there is and never has been anyone like her, she is amazing.

  29. T.... ....

    MAJESTIC/SUPERIOR/UNIQUE is Ms Shirley Bassey
    What best describes this performer?
    The "DIVA" of all Divas is in her element and in control, in a class of her own!

  30. b.... ....

    You cannot take your eyes off of her!

  31. R.... H....

    love this version madly.

  32. L.... G....

    Good Welsh Lass from Tiger Bay Beats All !!!!!!

  33. T.... O....

    My poor mother loves this one.

  34. c.... m....

    This song seems to have been written for the actress/singer that Dame Bassey...imbues every syllable with deeper meaning than mere words convey..genius, gorgeous..."with my usual flair"...so her...Sonheim had her in mind I'm sure

  35. R.... ....

    I don't know I just started crying listening to this. I never did the other times I watched this video. I guess I'm older and have more depth. Her phrasing is perfect.

    R.... ....

    Rosannasfriend It really is one of those songs where you need much under your belt before "getting" it. Have you listened to Sarah Vaughan's version? This is one of those songs where no matter who sings it, it will still move me. Cheers!

  36. e.... ....

    ...and Ms.Bassy's usual flair is like no one else's!

  37. T.... ....

    The composure, the face, the smile, the hand, the story telling, the beauty and that shiver inducing, tingling, powerful voice - that is Dame Shirley Bassey xxx

    T.... ....

    TheJustaviewman Well put.

  38. D.... H....

    WOW what can i say, superb

  39. V.... C....

    God damn Shirley, you are so beautiful...I want what you are having !

  40. T.... W....

    Tribute to the MIGHTY EXISTENCE in which we all share.

  41. a.... ....

    The poses and facial animations ratchet up the melancholy to near heart breaking levels.

  42. J.... M....

    What a classy lady and a great singer. See you don't need to be halve  naked to be a great singer.

    J.... M....

    +Johnny M Although she is in a strapless gown.

    J.... M....

    It's not strapless, it's an off the shoulder one-strap.

  43. m.... C....

    amazing

  44. Y.... F....

    what a very elegance performance .poised & confident

  45. N.... F....

    I had the pleasure of seeing this beautiful soul IN NYC. Beyone words.It was SO crowed that I had to view her through the long mirrors on the wall. I crossed my legs & about 15 minutes into the performance I legs went numb!! I leaned over & told my sister:I can't feel my legs.The man that was crammed in next to me said"Thats because your leg is crossed over mine.! What a night. [email protected]

  46. S.... T....

    The voice, so addictive, she has such a big personality. When she sings its like a riveting speech, you hang on her every word and rise to your feet, it always ring true. She always makes magic out of phrases. I had been partial to Sarah Vaughan's version, but now I'm really torn after hearing Dame Shirley. Wow.

    S.... T....

    None can compare to Sarah's instrument though...

  47. a.... ....

    Amazing how she keeps her voice and looks. My mom was a fan of hers and so am I.
    She is a divine diva!
    :-)

  48. T.... C....

    bassey. streisand. judy collins. absolute different class. make the singing trade look easy.

  49. D.... t....

    I thought you want what I want!

  50. D.... t....

    She was born to sing this song. AAA.

  51. J.... D....

    First time I ever heard the words sung and understood what the composer was describing. Marvelous story told by Dame Bassey!

    J.... D....

    +Janet DiLorenzo This song is about a serial killer that would dress his dogs like clowns,and feed his clown dogs live pelicans.true story.very beautiful story

    J.... D....

    Stainless Steel
    Such crap!!!
    But, imaginatively told as to make it believable!!! CONGRATULATIONS

  52. l.... ....

    Remarkable.

  53. L.... W....

    She's a legend, but this song will always belong, and rightly so, to Glynis Johns.

  54. s.... h....

    @MegaLoopylee
    shes half welsh and thanks to her daddy shes half carribean But for sure it was the tough welsh upbringing that taught her how to sing......... like an angel !

  80. l.... m....

    Respond to this video... learn where the singers are from

  81. l.... m....

    @pega17pl shirey bassey is bloodly welsh so it make her british and she amazing this coming from a striaght 30 year old

  82. S.... B....

    @pega17pl - I just uploaded with better video/audio quality Shirley's 1976 performance of this classic song from her TV Variety Show. One thing about Shirley,,,,she's got the vocal abilities to perform songs with many different arrangements/styles. The Vid Response below is the one I'm referring to BUT that is the older upload with poor quality. SEARCH for the NEW HQ version. Also, Shirley is not from the US. She is a UK citizen and was born specifically in Tiger Bay, Wales.

  83. a.... ....

    I loved Judi Dench performance of this song in the Hey! Mr. Producer production. It was intense and so rich with sheer emotions.
