lyrics

Cobbled streets and syphilis
Clowns are out
on the town now
They're taking off their noses
and pulled their trousers down

Cobbled streets

They're playing with knives now
and juggling with fire
Old Coco-Clown is jumping up
and jumping down and all around

And they're weeping
at the grave now of Charlie Chaplin
In the lime-light we're tap-dancing
And it only goes to show you know
No matter what you say and do
you can't change the way
the dice come tumbling down

And its easy come and easy go
You sit right back and watch the show
you can't change the way
the dice come tumbling down
And they're weeping
at the grave now of Charlie Chaplin

Pac-man's packed his bags and gone
Passed his throne to Pokemon
Said goodbye to Donkey-Kong
In the jungle righting wrong
While people called Dennis
play virtual tennis
Old Coco-Clown is jumping up
and jumping down and all around

And they're weeping
at the grave now of Charlie Chaplin
In the lime-light we're tap-dancing
And it only goes to show you know
No matter what you say and do
you can't change the way
the dice come tumbling down

And its easy come and easy go
You sit right back and watch the show
you can't change the way
the dice come tumbling down
