The Lyrics
I can't pay no more for clown college
All my buddies seem to think my son's a ditz
Your mom and I we hoped you'd be a lawyer
But now you're, in the circus having fits
Too late to give us any grandkids
I didn't think you'd make us go without
But you're too weird for women to go near you
Drop your pants and watch a duck come flying out
Don't let my son go clown on me
Although I know it's him, it's always Bozo that I see
I can't allow this frizzy-headed goon, to wander free
To see him in the ring, is like my son going clown on me
I can't see beyond the big red nose
The floppy shoes, the wacky orange hair
There's a clown car pulling up, you exit fifty-third
Then you chicken dance and ignite your underwear
Don't let my son go clown on me
Although I know it's him, it's always Bozo that I see
I can't allow this frizzy-headed goon, to wander free
To see him in the ring, is like my son going clown on me
Don't let my son go clown on me
I just can't see myself, the father of this travesty
It's not what I intended for my boy, my boy to be
This goofy ding-a-ling, is just my son going clown on me
All my buddies seem to think my son's a ditz
Your mom and I we hoped you'd be a lawyer
But now you're, in the circus having fits
Too late to give us any grandkids
I didn't think you'd make us go without
But you're too weird for women to go near you
Drop your pants and watch a duck come flying out
Don't let my son go clown on me
Although I know it's him, it's always Bozo that I see
I can't allow this frizzy-headed goon, to wander free
To see him in the ring, is like my son going clown on me
I can't see beyond the big red nose
The floppy shoes, the wacky orange hair
There's a clown car pulling up, you exit fifty-third
Then you chicken dance and ignite your underwear
Don't let my son go clown on me
Although I know it's him, it's always Bozo that I see
I can't allow this frizzy-headed goon, to wander free
To see him in the ring, is like my son going clown on me
Don't let my son go clown on me
I just can't see myself, the father of this travesty
It's not what I intended for my boy, my boy to be
This goofy ding-a-ling, is just my son going clown on me

Made me laugh! 5s!
A vast improvement over the original. Dropping his drawers and a duck flying out is a hilarious image.
Wicked!!! 555! Imagine if that "C" was replaced by a "D" ;-D
Thanks, guys! Patrick, I borrowed that image from Johnny Carson. Rob, I thought about that but the verses would've been a little too graphic.
Couldn't really judge the pacing. The lyrics and title were hilarious though.
Thanks! To be honest, I was a little iffy about the pacing in spots because of the way Elton sings it.
