It is a ballad from Act II in which the character Desirée reflects on the ironies and disappointments of her life. Among other things, she looks back on an affair years earlier with the lawyer Fredrik. Meeting him after so long, she finds that he is now in an unconsummated marriage with a much younger woman. Desirée proposes marriage to rescue him from this situation, but he declines, citing his dedication to his bride. Reacting to his rejection, Desirée sings this song. The song is later reprised as a coda after Fredrik's young wife runs away with his son, and Fredrik is finally free to accept Desirée's offer. MEANING of the Title - From Stephen Sondheim: I get a lot of letters over the years asking what the title means and what the song's about; I never thought it would be in any way esoteric. I wanted to use theatrical imagery in the song, because she's an actress, but it's not supposed to be a circus [...] It's a theater reference meaning "if the show isn't going well, let's send in the clowns"; in other words, "let's do the jokes." I always want to know, when I'm writing a song, what the end is going to be, so "Send in the Clowns" didn't settle in until I got the notion, "Don't bother, they're here", which means that "We are the fools. LYRICS - Send In The Clowns: Isn't it rich? Are we a pair? Me here at last on the ground And you in mid-air Send in the clowns Isn't it bliss? Don't you approve? One who keeps tearing around One who can't move Where are the clowns? Send in the clowns Just when I stopped Opening doors Finally knowing the one That I wanted was yours Making my entrance again With my usual flair Sure of my lines No one is there Don't you love farce? My fault, I fear I thought that you want what I want Sorry, my dear But where are the clowns? Quick, send in the clowns Don't bother They're here Isn't it rich? Isn't it queer? Losing my timing this late In my career? And where are the clowns? There ought to be clowns Well maybe Next year LYRICS - Kiss Me, Honey Honey, Kiss Me: Kiss me, honey, honey, kiss me Thrill me, honey, honey, thrill me Don't care even if I blow my top But, honey, honey, don't stop I'd like to play a little game with you A little game especially made for two If you come close then I will show you how Closer, closer, now Kiss me, honey, honey, kiss me Thrill me, honey, honey, thrill me Don't care even if I blow my top But, honey, honey, don't stop We've never played this little game before If you relax then you'll enjoy it more Just settle down and let me teach you how Closer, closer, now Kiss me, honey, honey, kiss me Thrill me, honey, honey, thrill me Don't care even if I blow my top But, honey, honey, don't stop You kiss so well my lips begin to burn And I can tell I've got a lot to learn So hold me close and darling show me how Closer, closer, now Kiss me, honey, honey, kiss me Thrill me, honey, honey, thrill me Don't care even if I blow my top But, honey, honey, don't stop LYRICS - Nobody Does It Like Me: If there's a wrong way to do it A wrong way to play it Nobody does it like me If there's a wrong way to do it A right way to screw it up Nobody does it like me I've got a big loud mouth I'm always talking much too free If you go for tact and manners Better stay away from me If there's a wrong way to keep it cool A right way to be a fool Nobody does it like me I hear a love song, a ballad I toss like a salad Nobody tosses like me And when my evenings get tougher I just take two Bufferin And drink a hot cup of tea Last night I met an old acquaintance At a fancy corner pub He said, "Come on, let's have some supper" So he used my credit club If there's a wrong way to take a guy The worst way to make a guy Nobody does it like me If there's a wrong bell, I ring it A wrong note, I sing it Nobody does it like me If there's a problem, I duck it I don't solve it, I just muck it up Nobody does it like me And so I try to be a lady I'm not lady, I'm a fraud And when I talk like I'm a lady What I sound like is a broad If there's a wrong way to get a guy The right way to lose a guy Nobody does it like me Nobody does it, no Nobody Does It Like ME
