A great song. Stevie Wonder supplied the tune and Smokey thought it sounded like the circus and came up with some of the most amazing lyrics ever written for a song! I love the part that says
'Just like Pagliacci did
I try to keep my sadness hid
Smiling in the public eye
But in my lonely room I cry
The tears of a clown'
Those are I believe the correct lyrics not the ones printed before.
