BOZO'S IN LOVE AGAIN
(Greg Brown)


Greg Brown - 1980





Bozo's woes would fill a well
Yeah, he looks bad even when he's doin' swell
His eyes are a definition of bereft
Yeah, he looks like somethin' that the cat left
Uh-oh, the bozo, he's in love again
Uh-oh, the bozo, he's in love again

Ho-ho, he met her at the disco
On the west side of Saint Louis MO
She put her rawboned fingers to his pants
He said, "Baby, I can't dance"
Uh-oh, the bozo, he's in love again
Uh-oh, the bozo, he's in love again

Ah well, he drove back to Aloha Trailer Park
She did a lot of bright things in the dark
She told him she was never late for work
He said, "I love you", she said, "You poor jerk"
Uh-oh, the bozo, he's in love again
Uh-oh, the bozo, he's in love again

Well, he followed her to the Hallmark Cards and Gifts
Five-0-Nine he offered her a lift
Five-0-Ten she got in her own car
Five-0-Eleven he was sitting in a bar
He was singin', uh-oh, the bozo, he's in love again
Uh-oh, the bozo, he's in love again

Two-Twelve back in his hotel
He called her and a man said, "Go to hell!"
Two-Sixteen he gets a hamburger, edge of town
Broken-hearted and homeward bound
Uh-oh, the bozo, he's in love again
Uh-oh, the bozo, he's in love again

Three-Sixteen p.m. a little roadside café
Nicotine and caffeine, his recent past away
The waitress said, "You look bad, and then she coughed"
Bozo said, "What time do you get off?"
Uh-oh, the bozo, he's in love again
Uh-oh, the bozo, he's in love again

He just another bozo, he's in love again
Just another b-b-bozo, he's in love 
(He been all around the world, but he)
Just another bozo, he's in love again
(He's a real sharp guy, but he's) a bozo
