The Benevolent Joker

Benevolent joker at the trick Humble, pious, and acts as a freak Tottering around wooden rings He weeps fake and a mournful dirge sings Sometimes he has a heavy heart When benevolent joker acts rough He laughs twisting his lips Through the days when life was tough This benevolent joker jumps From the nets and feigns hurt The world has to laugh anyway Whether he feels good or not He hides his face in paints And have to look funny Even he acts a grandpa sometimes At other he has to be a nanny He cheers you up When you feel rejected and low His life is tougher than yours He gets a few dimes for a show But he won’t ever retire And make you laugh and roll Enjoy his act and don’t regret When in your pocket he makes a hole
