Goodbye Cruel World James Darren Words and Music by Gloria Shayne -as sung on "The Best Of James Darren" -Rhino Records R2 71664 -peak Billboard position # 3 in 1961 Note: Calliope sounds were vocals by writer Shayne!! (Goodbye cruel world) (Goodbye cruel world) Oh, goodbye cruel world, I'm off to join the circus Gonna be a broken-hearted clown Paint my face with a good-for-nothin' smile 'cause a mean, fickle woman turned my whole world upside down (Goodbye cruel world) Farewell to love, I'm off to join the circus Gotta find a way to hide my tears Bet I'll have them rolling in the aisle And I'll forget that woman if it takes a hundred years Oh oh oh, step right up and take a look at a fool He's got a heart as stubborn as a mule C'mon everybody, he's good for a laugh And no one could tell his heart is broken in half Well, the joke's on me, I'm off to join the circus Oh, Mr. Barnum, save a place for me Shoot me out of a cannon, I don't care Let the people point at me and stare I'll tell the world that woman, wherever she may be That mean, fickle woman made a cryin' clown outta me (Goodbye cruel world) Shoot me out of a cannon, I don't care Let the people point at me and stare I'll tell the world that woman, wherever she may be That mean, fickle woman made a cryin' clown outta me Goodbye cruel world Goodbye cruel world Fade Goodbye cruel world Goodbye cruel world Transcribed by Robin Hood These lyrics were transcribed from the specific recording mentioned above And do not necessarily correspond with lyrics from other recordings, sheet Music, songbooks or lyrics printed on album jackets
