(If you have sound turn it ON!)

I make people laugh
When I do funny tricks,
They all think I'm daft,
When I juggle with sticks

I make people laugh
With my funny red nose
I even make them laugh
At my big floppy clothes.

I make people laugh
When I trip and fall
With my big blue ears
I'm fun for all!

I make people laugh
When I stand on a rake
Now my poor red nose
Looks like a pancake!

King of the ring
Is Marcus the clown
He juggles things
But they always fall down.

He runs around
He is King of the Ring
He falls on the ground
Like a funny old thing.

Marcus is cool
He thinks he's a dude
Some say he's a fool
But he is never rude.

He has a big nose
And floppy pink ears
His car falls apart
When he changes the gears.

I make people laugh
When I do funny tricks,
They all think I'm daft,
When I juggle with sticks

I feed the lions
And the monkeys too
The circus is like
A travelling zoo!

With elephants stamping
And snakes so long,
I'd try to lift them
But I'm not that strong!

I watch the trapeze artists
Up high in the air
All I can do is
Watch and stare.

St. Finian's N.S., Dillonstown, Co. Louth
and Kill N.S., Co. Kildare.

With a cherry red nose
And floppy old shoes
Big googly eyes
That's how I amuse.

With a wild, mischievous grin
And fluffy, green hair
Laughter I'll bring
Playing tricks everywhere.

With a big, happy grin
And a twinkle in my eye
I look like a girl
But I really am a boy!

In the circus ring,
I never wear a frown
I like to dance and sing
Hey I'm a funny clown!

St. Finian's N.S., Dillonstown, Co. Louth
and Inch N.S., Ennis, Co. Clare.

I make people laugh
When I do funny tricks
They all think I'm daft
When I juggle with sticks.

Splat! I throw my mud pie
As I wheel my trike round
When I squirt in their eye
They all fall to the ground.

In my little green car
I crash into the wall
They all think I'm a star
When I collapse and fall.

You'll spot me in my pink dress
Yellow is my face
My hair is in a mess,
The circus is my place.

Composed by the 5th class pupils of
St. Finian's N.S., Dillonstown, Co. Louth
and Inch N.S., Ennis, Co. Clare.

With a cherry red nose
And floppy old shoes
Big googly eyes
That's how I amuse

I could have been a conductor
But a clown's what I choose
Because I make people laugh
Not make them snooze.

I throw custard pies
So look out for me
I'm extremely annoying
Don't you agree?

I juggle with fire
Connect bits of wire
I do some tricks
With flaming hot sticks.

I make people laugh
When I do funny tricks,
They all think I'm daft,
When I juggle with sticks

I tell a few jokes
People think the are cool
It ain't a hoax
But I still feel like a fool

I've got bright yellow skin
And spotty old clothes
With red-crossed eyes
And a squeaky red nose!
