The song « O Clown » summarize in a few sentences the relation and emotion between the clown and his public.
Marc Dex performed this song during the final of the singing contest Canzonissima 1967, predecessor of the actual Eurovision.
Here are the original lyrics :
O clown
O clown
Ohoh koning clown
Ruiten broek met gele lappen
Brede snoet met gulle grappen
Huppel, soepel, hopsa hopsasa
De mensen kijken
Ook de gentlemen, de lady
Lachen luid om jouw komedie
Zo verbergen zij toch hun verdriet
O clown
O clown
De show is over
Jouw hart heeft pijn
Het zoekt weer zijn
Remedie, komedie
Kom maar binnen
Kom maar binnen
Het spektakel gaat beginnen
Luid applaus nu voor koning clown
Het spiegelbeeld van
Knechten, boeren en magisters
Bazen, metsers en ministers
Al hun glorie is maar fantasie
ahahaha
Clow
