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.

When you said you were leaving tomorrow
That today was our last day
I said there'd be no sorrow
That I'd laugh when you walked away.

But 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.

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

But 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.

Everything went like a planned it
And really put on quite a show
In my heart I felt I could stand it
But I found when you got to the door.

That 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.
