Where he had a seal follow him up and down a step-ladder

But three quarters way through his act a rope broke

Down came the backdrop right on the back of the neck

And he went flat and something broke this was it
It hurt way down deep inside he tried to get up
He looked out at the audience
And you should've man you should've
You should've seen that crowd
They was rolling in the aisle
This was bigger than the buke
This was bigger than the buke
He really had them going
This was it this was the last one
This was the last one This was the last one
He knew now man he really knew now
But it was too late
And all he had wanted was to make this crowd laugh
Well they were laughing But now he knew
That was the end of the clown
And you should have seen the bookings coming
Man his agent was on the phone for 24 hours
The Palladium MCA William Morris But it was too late
He really knew now
He really knew
He really knew now
William Morris sent regrets
WilliamMorris发来道歉信
