Lyrics

Episode version

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!

Album version

Announcer:

Live from Springfield, the entertainment capital of this state, the Krusty Comeback 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!
