I might put up many fronts

Choose which me you may please

Sweet and dainty, stern and gruff

I even have several curated sneeze

🎭🎭🎭🎭🎭🎭🎭🎭🎭🎭

Choose which of me you may please

It’s a laugh-a-minute, or down in the dumps

I even have several curated sneeze

Maybe you would like to throw a few pies?

🎭🎭🎭🎭🎭🎭🎭🎭🎭🎭

It’s a laugh-a-minute, or down in the dumps

I hate to laugh when I find nothing funny

Maybe you would like to throw a few pies?

Sometimes I’m crying when nothing is sad

🎭🎭🎭🎭🎭🎭🎭🎭🎭🎭

I hate to laugh when I find nothing funny

Laughter brings in the fans

Sometimes I’m crying when nothing is sad

Tears bring in the trolls

🎭🎭🎭🎭🎭🎭🎭🎭🎭🎭

Laughter brings in the fans

So laugh through your fears

Tears bring in the trolls

Beware crying wolf
