Ah look what they've done to the rock'n'roll clown
Ah rock'n'roll clown, look he's dead on the ground
Well he used to high fly but he crashed out the sky
In a Stardust fling, hey rock 'n roll king is down
Roll on up, won't you come and take the lovely me
Come on, stand in line just one at a time, see me
See my painted-on grin as a stand up to sing
In a stardust fling, hey rock'n'roll king is down
