It's a square dance Mr Marshall It's a square dance on the floor
It's a square dance Mr Perkins It's a square dance to be sure, to be sure
Ev'rybody, grab partners

I'm just a clown that used to run around
I used to have a million friends
I used to start where ev'rybody ends
But I just give my best to my friends

I've done my shows Ev'rybody knows
I nearly sold all my clothes
One man can give; another has to lend
So I just give my best to my friends
(spoken)and so you should

And when you think that your life isn't right
You know the day isn't always like night
You've had your peace now it's time for you to fight
Just give your best to your friends

I'm just a clown that used to run around
I used to have a million friends
I used to start where ev'rybody ends
So I just give my best to my friends

And when you think that your life isn't right
You know the day isn't always like night
You've had your peace now it's time for you to fight
Just give your best to your friends

(music)

And when you think that your life isn't right
You know the day isn't always like night
You've had your peace now it's time for you to fight
Just give your best to your friends
Just give your best to your friends
