Текст пісні
See the gentleman with the jackass on his back
Parade him through the streets and then send him back
He's the man of the estate, he's the man of land and title
He's the man to make you chomp the bit, make you wear the bridle
I knew you liked your makeup like one
But I never knew you had a thing for clowns
You got to know him in the carnival sense
So don't say I'm the one who's putting you down
Bragging in the drinking hole to every listening ear
About fifty-two positions and a leather belt Goodyear
He's the conquistador, laying claim to all the lowlands
Relate to all the primitives by laughing from the mountains
I knew you liked your makeup like one
But I never knew you had a thing for clowns
You got to know him in the carnival sense
So don't say I'm the one who's putting you down
You traded in your real man for trailer life and funnel cake
Don't say the doctor never warned you
'Bout the side effects of what you take
What kind of guy would sell a woman to a child in distress?
Darling climb into his arms, but don't expect the rest
I knew you liked your makeup like one
But I never knew you had a thing for clowns
You got to know him in the carnival sense
So don't say I'm the one
No, don't say I'm the one
No, don't say I'm the one putting you down
