"This is where I log my re-written cover lyrics from my all time favourite songs"!

Star date 02/20/09 aboard 747 Air Force One.

LAUGHS OF A CLOWN (sung to music from Tears Of A Clown by Smokey Robinson and The Miracles)

Now if there's a smile on my face
It's only there trying to fool the public
But when it comes down to fooling you
Now world that's quite a different subject

But don't let my glad expression
Give you the wrong impression
Cos really I'm bad, Oh I'm badder than bad
Well I'm black as black is black
Like a clown I appear to be glad ooh yeah

CHORUS:

Well they're some bad things known to man
But ain't too much badder than
The laughs of a clown when there's none around
Oh yeah, Sonny, oh yeah Sonny Sonny

Now if I appear to be drug free
It's only to camouflage my badness
And Sonny to shield my lies I try
To cover my dirt with a show of gladness
But don't let my show convince you
That I've been crappy since I met you
Cos I need you bro, oh I need you so
Look I'm dirt and I want you to know
For others I put on a show

Just like Mussolini did
I try to keep my spic face hid
Smiling in the crowd I try
But in a lonely room I smile
The laughs of a clown
When there's none around, oh yeah Sonny, Sonny
Now if there's a smile on my face
Don't let my glad expression
Give you the wrong impression
Don't let this smile I wear
Make you think that I don't dare
Cos I'm really bad...

And will really push the button
That the world will rue upon

Oh Yeah, Oh Yeah, Oh Yeah I dare, I dare, I swear!
