The Lyrics
Coulrophobia is the word for fear of clowns and surprising afflicts a higher majority of children than you'd think. Personally I don't have coulrophobia, but I have some friends that do. (Clarifications for references: "Killer Klowns From Outer Space" is a horror comedy movie. The main hero is Michael Tobacco (M. Tobacco.) And It is also an evil clown from the movie "It").
Intro: I’m afraid of clown-clown-clown-clown-clowns
Clowns! Clowns!
Even when they make those honking sounds!
Clowns! Clowns!
Oh! Oh!
Verse1: You outta know (know, know)
Today is your birthday; I can’t go
Cuz of that show (show, show)
Don’t wanna see how I lose control
They wear that red nose
And I do suppose it creeps me out (out, out)
Their makeup is gross, indeed
As they come around I shout (shout, shout)
Chorus: You demons aren’t funny!
I will start running
I ain’t no dummy
Even when they make those stupid sounds!
They smell all rummy
Plus their show’s crumby
I’m afraid of clown-clown-clown-clown-clowns
Clowns! Clowns!
I’m afraid of clown-clown-clown-clown-clowns
Clowns! Clowns!
Even when they make those honking sounds!
Verse 2: Listen to me
Come on and look how clowns can be scary
Just look at their face (face)
Turn a man into a com-edy disgrace!
They wear those big shoes
And I didn’t choose to be afraid (‘fraid, ‘fraid)
There are Killer Klowns, from space
And what if that It escapes?!
I told you I’d run away!
Chorus: Those devils aren’t silly
Tell me you feel me
They’re here to kill me!
They are here to take this human down!
Their hearts are chilly
They’re evil really!
I’m afraid of clown-clown-clown-clown-clowns
Clowns! Clowns!
I’m afraid of clown-clown-clown-clown-clowns
Clowns! Clowns!
They are here to take this human…
Bridge: Down like what Jay Sean sings
Take me down for re-sisting
Down like a GPA
Cuz they could take the CIA
Bozo, not today!
No good things from what they say
Now they’re Mr. Funnymen
I’ll kill them all they soldier way
I’m fighting all these clowns
On a battlefield alone
Got me look like M. Tobacco
Blasting clowns like a Stallone
I will always try by showing ya
Clowns going up, nice knowing ya
And now the whole world has got coulrophobia
Hey!
Chorus: You demons aren’t funny!
I will start running
I ain’t no dummy
Even when they make those stupid sounds!
They smell all rummy
Plus their show’s crumby
I’m afraid of clown-clown-clown-clown-clowns
Clowns! Clowns! (Clowns)
I’m afraid of clown-clown-clown-clown-clowns
Clowns! Clowns!
Even when they make those honking sounds!
Ooh, ooh
They’re here to take this human down…

I have Coulrophobia and am an adult. My parents put me in a clown room when I was a kid and it has scarred me ever since. Clowns to me represent maniacal beings sent to torture kids with their grotesque grins and disorientating appearances. I can't even watch those killer clown movies or go to a circus. I hate 'em all.
Wouldn't it be easier to remember if they just called it clownophobia? Anyway, fun parody!
Good song-5s. I too can't stand clowns- they creep me out!
I suffer from Pupaphobia- fear of puppets! It's just as bad, believe me!
Blayde - Congrats on your "clowning achievement". ;D
Killer Clowns From Outer Space, It, The Joker... There's a good reason for people to be scared of clowns. They're probably going to kill you.
I really don't have a problem with clowns, my main fear is preying mantises. This song reminds me a lot of "Can't Sleep, Clowns Will Eat Me" by Alice Cooper...nice work!
(SOTM) Some of the lines in the chorus were a bit clunky, but otherwise this was a really good parody. Bonus props for the use of the word "coulrophobia". 555!
(SOTM) You know that I don't like clowns either! They are so creepy! It's scary how good this parody was.
(SOTM) I have nothing against clowns, really, but yes, they can look real scary and creepy at times. Coulrophobia...now I know how characters like Dumbo, Chucky Finster, and Junior from Problem Child feel. The clowns that I can't stand are the clowns from Dumbo, who also became a clown who became the butt of their jokes and how they were close to burning Dumbo to death during that fire in the house skit in the circus. Another clown that came to mind is Pennywise from the movie "It". Talk about scary! Yes, a great reason to fear clowns. So instead of clowns for childrens' parties, lets get some magicians...or cute actors like Jim Carrey to entertain children! LOL!!
Pretty good word subs throughout. The reference to M. Tobacco would have gone right over my head. Referring to Stephen King's It as "It" would have been better referenced as "Pennywise"--the joke gets lost in the vocal of the parody.
See Above: Still not afraid of clowns, but I think after this second reading, you're starting to convince me haha. Nice work!
I have no idea what my previous comment was about. Anyway, fun to read this again, this was well done!
If John Wayne Gacy and Pennywise got together and had a baby, who would the baby be?
(ABC) See above!
I enjoyed this explanation of coulrophobia in parody form. Great subs, as others have said, and great use of the repeats. Especially liked 'Bozo, not today!' and the Bridge containing it. Watch out, its a SMALL CAR!
