A little bitty tear let me down, spoiled my act as a clown
I had it 1 up not make a frown, but a little bitty tear let me down.

You 2 you were leaving tomorrow
That today was our last day
I said there'd be no sorrow, that I'd 3 when you walked away.

A little bitty tear let me down, 4 my act as a clown
I had it made up not make a frown, but a little bitty 5 let me down.

I said I'd laugh when you left me
Pull a funny as you went out the door
That I'd have 6 waiting
And I'd wave goodbye as you go.

A little bitty tear let me 7 , spoiled my act as a clown
I had it made up not make a frown, but a little 8 tear let me down.

Everything went like a planned it
And really put on quite a show
In my 9 I felt I could stand it
Till you walked with your *grip* through the door.
A little bitty tear let me down, spoiled my act as a clown
I had it made up not make a frown, but a little bitty tear let me down.

A little bitty tear let me down.
