I have been called a down

Yes you may write that down

And for a little money

I am extremely funny

I play before the audience

I make them laugh and shout

And when they've laughed for quite a while

The door man lets them out (bye bye)

You ask me how I do my act

This is my reply

I climb up on a ladder

And announce that I will fly

You ask me how I do my act

This is my reply

I climb up on a ladder

And announce that I will fly
