Goodbye Cruel World Lyrics By James Darren

    goodbye cruel world
    goodbye cruel world

    oh goodbye cruel world
    i’m off to join the circus
    gonna be a brokenhearted clown ah
    paint my face with a goodfornothin’ smile
    ’cause a mean fickle woman
    turned my whole world upsidedown
    goodbye cruel world

    farewell to love yeah yeah yeah
    i’m off to join the circus
    gotta find a way to hide my tears yeah yeah yeah
    then i’ll have them rollin’ in the aisle ah
    and i’ll forget that woman
    if it takes a hundred years
    goodbye cruel world ooh

    oh step right up ooh
    and take a look at a fool doodaloodoodoo
    he has got a heart doodadoo
    as stubborn as a mule doodaloodoo ah
    come on everybody he’s good for a laugh
    and no one could tell his heart is broken in half

    well the joke’s on me yeah yeah yeah
    i’m off to join the circus
    oh mr barnum save a place for me yeah yeah yeah
    shoot me out of a cannon i don’t care ah
    let the people point at me and stare ah
    i’ll tell the world that woman ah ah
    wherever she may be ah
    that mean fickle woman made a cryin’ clown out of me
    goodbye cruel world

    shoot me out of a cannon i don’t care ah
    let the people point at me and stare ah
    i’ll tell the world that woman ah ah
    wherever she may be ah
    that mean fickle woman made a cryin’ clown out of me

    goodbye cruel world
    goodbye cruel world
    goodbye cruel world
    goodbye cruel world
