Ah, oh, ooh, mm
Ooh
No, you couldn't call Jesse a babe in the woods
He's just weak in self-defense
'Cause he's so thin-skinned
He can't take a joke at his expense
"You're a push button window, " says Rowdy Yates
"I can run you up and down
Anytime I want
I can make you my dancin'
My dancin' clown"
You're my dancin' clown
Dancin', dancin'
Dancin' clown (dancin')
You're my dancin' clown (dancin')
Dancin', dancin'
Dancin' clown
He's just weak in self-defense
'Cause he's so thin-skinned
He can't take a joke at his expense
"You're a push button window, " says Rowdy Yates
"I can run you up and down
Anytime I want
I can make you my dancin'
My dancin' clown"
You're my dancin' clown
Dancin', dancin'
Dancin' clown (dancin')
You're my dancin' clown (dancin')
Dancin', dancin'
Dancin' clown
Rowdy Yates is as bold as Jove
He's all chide and snide and bluff
Stuck in the romantic tradition
Of acting rough (hey) and tough (c'mon)
"You're always charging through, " says Jesse
Nervous, lookin' all around
To see who's seein' him bein' a dancin'
A dancin' clown
He's a dancin' clown
Dancin', dancin'
Dancin' clown (dancin')
He's a dancin' clown (dancin')
Dancin', dancin'
Dancin' clown
He's all chide and snide and bluff
Stuck in the romantic tradition
Of acting rough (hey) and tough (c'mon)
"You're always charging through, " says Jesse
Nervous, lookin' all around
To see who's seein' him bein' a dancin'
A dancin' clown
He's a dancin' clown
Dancin', dancin'
Dancin' clown (dancin')
He's a dancin' clown (dancin')
Dancin', dancin'
Dancin' clown

I’ve never heard this song before. I’ve only owned two Joni
Mitchell albums and none of them sound like this. That cat got some good spinning done the day they shot this. I bet you that was her kitchen. She strikes me as the type who doesn’t own a dish washer. Joni Mitchell Is very rad. I love the album where she took a road trip by herself and recorded the album in different hotel rooms.
Joni Mitchell is rad indeed
I have her 'Big Yellow Taxi' song pop into my head all the time
The cat was definitely dizzy and that was her dishwasher-less kitchen, I'm sure of it
As well as her cigarettes, I wonder what brand Joni smoked?
The thought of dancing clowns is still somewhat creepy, but most clowns are
This did make me go back and watch the Clown episode of Animaniacs when it's Wakko's birthday
"Hello I'm a puppy bark-laven-woof"
It gets me every time
"When the whippoorwill whippers in the wind....
OH NICE AND CHUBBY BABY
YES!!! I totally forgot that episode. Supposedly a "reboot" of Animaniacs is in the works. Which is Hollywood speak for crappy knock off that everyone hates but still manages to wring a few more dollars out of an idea.
I like the clown episode of Simpsons where they are all sitting down eating dinner and suddenly Homer jumps up and says "Thats it! You people have stood in my way long enough! I'm going to clown collage" and runs out of the room. There is a moment of silence and then Bart says "I think its safe to say none of us saw that coming."
Joni is/was rad. I dont think that there are many artists like her now. I guess there never was.
