(Laugh, make her laugh
Make her laugh, make her laugh
Make her laugh, make her laugh
Make her laugh)

To her you're just a clown
A Ponchinello
You try to make her laugh 
When she is blue
You only play the part 
To hide what's in your heart
The only thing that you can do

Make her laugh, make her laugh 
Make her laugh Ponchinello
Don't you know little fool 
To her you're just a clown
With a smile on your face 
Inside you wear a frown
Ponchinello, you silly little clown

I see through your disguise
Ponchinello
And there within your eyes 
I see a tear
There's always someone new
She'll never care for you
So try to hide your broken heart

Make her laugh, make her laugh 
Make her laugh Ponchinello
Don't you know little fool 
To her you're just a clown
As I look at your face
In the mirror I can see
Ponchinello, Ponchinello
Ponchinello is no one else but me

(Make her laugh, make her laugh 
Make her laugh)

Ponchinello

(Make her laugh, make her laugh 
Make her laugh …)
