Lyrics[]

JOEL
Tell me where does all the magic go (Tom Servo: Ooo ooo ooo ooo!)
When the curtain falls to end the show (Tom Servo: Ooo ooo ooo ooo!)
Do the clowns always cry (Tom Servo: Boo hoo hoo!)
When they pack up the paper sky

JOEL & TOM
And the champagne is being poured
And the lock is on the old stage door?

JOEL
Will there still be a clown in the sky for me?

Tom Servo: Oh, Joel! Oh, boo hoo hoo hoo! Joel!
Joel Robinson: Don't worry, buddy, there'll be other experiments.
Tom Servo: You really think so, Mister?
Joel Robinson: Yeah. Take a verse. It'll cheer you up.
Tom Servo: Okay.

TOM
When the harlequin is on the bed
And the whiskey haze surrounds his head
William Holden's coming over and he's got a fifth or two

Joel Robinson: Tom Servo, if you don't stop doing your Anthony Newley I'm gonna throw you against the wall.
Crow T. Robot: He'll do it, too.

JOEL
Will there still be a clown in the sky

Tom Servo: Help us out, Crow!

ALL
Still be a clown in the sky

Tom Servo: Take it home, Joel!

JOEL
Tell me, where is that clown in the sky
For me?

Joel Robinson: I love you, Tom Servo.
Tom Servo: I love you, Joel!
Joel Robinson: I love you, Crow.
Crow T. Robot: You're not my real father!
Joel Robinson: Whadda ya think, sirs?

[In Deep 13]

Dr. Clayton Forrester & TV's Frank: It stinks!
