Lyrics

Announcer:

Live from Springfield, the entertainment capital of this state, The Krusty Komeback Special!

Krusty:

Send in the clowns,

Those daffy laffy clowns,

Send in those soulful and doleful,

Shmaltz-by-the-bowlful clowns.

Send in...the clowns. (sobs)

Sideshow Mel:

They're already here!

(applause)

I love you, Krusty.

Krusty:

Quiet!
