WHEN A KING BECAME A CLOWN


			V.1)  I GOT THE LETTER FROM YOUR LAWYER JUST YESTERDAY
			         THAT'S WHEN IT FINALLY DAWNED ON ME
			         YOU'VE GONE THIS TIME TO STAY
		                 AND IT HURTS TO KNOW, THAT I'VE FAILED US SO
			         AND LET OUR BABIES DOWN.
			         WHEN I TRADED LOVE FOR LIQUOR,
			         THAT'S WHEN A KING BECAME A CLOWN.

			C.)    NOW I'M KNOWN ON A FIRST NAME BASIS
			         I'M A CHARTER MEMBER HERE.
			         I PROVIDE THEIR ENTERTAINMENT
			         EVERY NIGHT WHEN I CRY IN MY BEER.
			         WHEN THAT JUKEBOX BRINGS YOUR MEM'RY UP
			         I DRINK IT RIGHT BACK DOWN.
			         WHEN I TRADED LOVE FOR LIQUOR
			         THAT'S WHEN A KING BECAME A CLOWN.

			V.2)  ON FRIDAY NIGHTS WHEN I DRANK MY CHECK
			         YOU'D SIT AT HOME AND CRY
			         BARELY ABLE TO AFFORD NEW SHOES
			         FOR JENNY AND LITTLE MIKE
			         AND IT KILLS ME NOW, WHEN I THINK OF HOW
			         I'D BOUGHT THE WHOLE HOUSE ROUNDS
			         WHEN I TRADED LOVE FOR LIQUOR
			         THAT'S WHEN A KING BECAME A CLOWN.
		
			C.)     REPEAT,  TAG,  END
