Clowns and Kings

Verse 1.:
Samuel Dexter, worked As a butcher, handled his cleaver and always tried to please her.

STephanie melrose, taiiloed her own clothes

that should bought from the lost and found and she still looked out of town

Verse 2.

they went to a diner

and never looked finer

he carried her sweater

she hoped that he would let her

take him for a drink

in a bar on old Compton street

where they'd get real close

and have another dose

and boy they looked so sweet 

verse. 3

they had a daughter 

she danced the tango

she hated her mother

who worked in a quango

they buried poor samuel 

up to his ankles

and they moved to the countryside

where they danced in the pale moonlight...!

Chorus:
a man can be a clown
a man can be a king
but i am somewhere in between
somewhere in between
a girl can wear a crown
a girl can be a queen
she is something beautiful
i hope she'll wear my ring
