Frank Sinatra - Send In The Clowns Lyrics






[Spoken intro]
This is a song about a couple of adult people who have spent, oh, quite a long time
together, till one day
one of 'em gets restless and decides to leave. Whether it's the man or woman who left is unimportant.
It's a breakup.
It's a lovely marriage of words and music, written by Stephen Sondheim.

Isn't it rich? Are we a pair?
Me here at last on the ground and you in mid-air
Send in the clowns

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

Just when I stopped opening doors
Finally finding the one that I wanted was yours
Making my entrance again with my usual flair

Sure of my lines
Nobody's there

Don't you love a farce? My fault, I fear
I thought that you'd want what I want, sorry my dear
But where are the clowns? Send in the clowns
Don't bother they're here

Isn't it rich? Isn't it queer?
Losing my timing this late in my career
But where are the clowns? Send in the clowns
Well, maybe next year

    Why is this a sad song for the Joker? 😭

  2. W.... R....

    Haunting and beautiful❤️

  3. F.... ....

    Great song, I've just finished watching the Joker movie and it was brilliant! Every scene was great and the storyline moved at a good pace. The two scenes one at the hospital and the talk show, holy shit! 😱

  4. C.... A....

    i am the clown

  5. a.... f....

    Imagine that the pinnacle of your career was cheapened by a B movie 30 years later. Let Frank rest.

    a.... f....

    CLASSIC NEVER DIES.

  6. a.... f....

    This song is worth much more than a movie.

  7. L.... d....

    Bro just finished joker and first thing I did was listen to this

  8. T.... ....

    "All I Have are Negative Thoughts."

  9. A.... J....

    Joker director: "yeah, this song is good, but I think "the joker" loves 'jock jams"

  10. U.... U....

    When JOKER Finishes.

  11. M.... M....

    0:22 Roll credits.

  12. I.... B....

    "So, buddy. Tell us. What's so fucking funny?"

  13. T.... ....

    "You don't ever listen, do you?"

  14. L.... ....

    Mad respect for the man responsible for this music choice of Joker.

  15. T.... W....

    “They couldn’t carry a tune to save their lives....”

    Envie os palhaço tem tudo a ver com o filme coringa bela canção do Frank Sinatra

  20. G.... W....

    He's 57 here and the material he chose reflects that as does the depth of his performance. Critics go on about his albums from the Fifties, but for my money, this is the best Sinatra album ever. Imho.

  21. D.... D....

    Lightning in a bottle...

  22. F.... ....

    Historical dance

  23. A.... ....

    Movie of the decade or best movie of all time, that shows a Mirror to these people on "What's right and what's wrong the same way on what's funny and what's not funny"

  24. k.... ....

    0:50 we were all here for that part

  25. k.... ....

  30. T.... I....

    I don't know what the hell "Joker" is - just that this is a beautiful song.

    T.... I....

    ok boomer

  31. T.... B....

    The worst part of having a mental illness is that people expect you to act right as if you don’t

  32. R.... ....

    *"You wouldn't get it."*

  33. I.... T....

    "Tell us, buddy, what's so fucking funny?"

    What do you get when you cross a mentally ill person
    YOU GET WHAT YOU FUCKING DESERVE

  44. T.... ....

    At the very least, at least the Joker movie got even just one more person into listening to Frank Sinatra. Maybe not at all times, but they respect him now.

  45. V.... M....

    Best movie, Joker! Oscar is coming.....

  46. P.... ....

    Isn't it rich?
    Are we a pair?
    Be here at last on ground
    You in mid-air
    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, openin' doors
    Finally knowin' 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 farce?
    My fault I fear
    I thought that you'd want what I want
    Sorry, my dear
    Where are the clowns?
    Quick, send in the clowns
    Don't bother, they're here

    Isn't it rich, isn't it queer?
    Losing my timing this late in my career
    And where are the clowns?
    There ought to be clowns
    Well, maybe next year

  88. l.... ....

    Thanks to Joker, Frank Sinatra's legacy will continue to live on!

    "What do you get when you cross a mentally ill loner with a Soviet that abandons him and treats him like trash?!?! I’ll tell you what you get! You get what you fucking deserve!!!!!"

  91. D.... A....

    Great Song! Thanks to Frank and Joker!

  92. D.... d....

    Sad that a world needs a film to discover the master.
    There should be a sixth sense called taste , where Frank is the sign of

  93. D.... D....

    This is really nice but I actually prefer the other version Sinatra recorded with just him and the piano. His voice wasn't in as good of shape, but I greatly prefer the arrangement of that one. This one tends to drag at some parts, and generally I feel that sometimes less is more.

  94. g.... ....

    Have to admit, Joker brought me here. This is a beautiful song

  95. j.... ....

    I remember when a singer sang this song. on tv. many years ago. a famous clown die. forget which clown tho. the singer had tears streaming down , as the singer perform this song.

  96. e.... d....

    Arthur: hey murray can you do me a favor
    Murray : yeah
    Arthur: when you bring me out, can you introduce me as joker
    Murray: joker I like it we'll go with joker.

  97. e.... d....

    Arthur: how 'bout another joke murray
    murray: no I think we had enough of your jokes
    Arthur:what do you get when you cross a mentally ill loner with a society that ABANDONS HIM AND TREATS HIM LIKE TRASH
    murray: get the police
    Arthur: I'll tell you what you get, get what you F*****g deserve. GUNSHOT
    Audience:AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
