| Original Performer: | Judy Collins |
| Parody Song Title: | "Sellin' the Clowns" |
| Parody Written by: | Royce Miller |
Isn't it rich, isn't it rare?
Stuff that I see on the tube, no reality there!
Sellin' the clowns
Who did she kiss--why should I care?
I've got more reality now than I can bear
They're TV clowns
Sellin' the clowns
Just when I thought I'd seen it all
Now there's a potential obnoxious, fat son-in-law
Flippin the channels again from my easy chair
Orange County choppers-thank God they're there
If you love farce
you'll get your fill
Watchin' some fat gruesome slob
doesn't give me a thrill
Watchin' the clowns
On TV--they're here
Ain't she a bitch--ain't he a queer?
Frankly I don't give a good damn, sorry my dear
you watch the clowns
Enjoy the clowns
The circus is here
Stuff that I see on the tube, no reality there!
Sellin' the clowns
Who did she kiss--why should I care?
I've got more reality now than I can bear
They're TV clowns
Sellin' the clowns
Just when I thought I'd seen it all
Now there's a potential obnoxious, fat son-in-law
Flippin the channels again from my easy chair
Orange County choppers-thank God they're there
If you love farce
you'll get your fill
Watchin' some fat gruesome slob
doesn't give me a thrill
Watchin' the clowns
On TV--they're here
Ain't she a bitch--ain't he a queer?
Frankly I don't give a good damn, sorry my dear
you watch the clowns
Enjoy the clowns
The circus is here

Excellent fare, Royce - sounds like TV over there is much what we get served up here, too :-(
Yeah - who writes this stuff? (The TV shows, not the parody). Well done Royce.
Nice job, Royce.
Royce, rejoice - this parody's choice! 555 !
Very good parody, Royce - "reality television" is an oxymoron.
Good job, Royce!
good song, i hate it. 5's, damn it. and jenkins, you mean it's written by ox headed morons, right?
Royce, Clever - well done...Send in the "Five's". Good job, good choice of Original songs, too. Don't see this one very much, if at all.
I thought yours was funny too.
Well, you certainly haven't lost your timing this late in your career . . .! This is perfect, Royce, and SOOOOO true! 555!
Reality TV sucks and ITV here rolls in it. As I write it's the time of 'Celebrity Fit Club' and 'I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here', where various hasbeens are seen falling out with each other in a bid to hang on to what's left of their fame. Thank heaven for Amiright and being able to play my CDs and DVDs! Thanks for the parody.
