A little bitty tear 
Let me down spoiled my act as a clown 
I had it made up not to 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 to make a frown 
But a little bitty tear let me down 
I said I'd laugh when you left me full of funny 
As you went out the door 
That I'd have another one a waiting 
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 to make a frown 
But a little bitty tear let me down 
Everything went like I planned it 
And I really put on quite a show 
In my heart I felt I could stand it 
Till you walked with your grip through the door 
Then a little bitty tear 
Let me down spoiled my act as a clown 
I had it made up not to make a frown 
But a little bitty tear let me down 
A little bitty tear 
Let me down
