La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la So let's all drink to the death of a clown Won't someone help me to up this crowd Let's all drink to death of a clown

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la Let's all drink to the death of a So won't someone help me to break up this crowd Let's drink to the death of a clown
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la Let's all drink to the death of a clown
