"Goodbye Cruel World" Lyrics

Goodbye cruel world.
Goodbye cruel world.
Oh, goodbye cruel world,
I'm off to join the circus.
I'm gonna be a broken-hearted clown.
Paint my face with a good-for-nothing smile,
'cause a mean fickle woman turned my whole world upside-down.

Goodbye cruel world.
Farewell to love,
I'm off to join the circus
Gotta find a way to hide my tears.
Then I'll have them rolling in the aisles,
And I'll forget about a woman
If it takes 100 years.

Goodbye cruel world.
Ooh, step right up,
and take a look at a fool.
He's got a heart as stubborn as a mule.
C'mon everybody, he's good for a laugh.
And no one can tell his heart is broken in half.

Well, the joke's on me,
I'm off to join the circus,
Oh Mr. Barnum save a place for me.
Shoot me out of a cannon,
I don't care.
Let the people point at me and stare.
I'll tell the world that a woman,
wherever she may be,
That mean fickle woman made a crying clown out of me.

Goodbye cruel world.
Shoot me out of a cannon,
I don't care.
Let the people point at me and stare.
I'll tell the world that a woman,
wherever she may be,
That mean fickle woman made a crying clown out of me.

Goodbye cruel world.
Goodbye cruel world.
Goodbye cruel world.
