Barbra Streisand put her feelings about Donald Trump into song with a parody version of “Send in the Clowns” by Stephen Sondheim at an LGBT fundraiser for Hillary Clinton in New York City on Friday night.

Check out the lyrics and video below.

Is he that rich?
Maybe he’s poor?
‘Til he reveals his returns
Who can be sure?
Who needs this clown?

Something’s amiss
I don’t approve
If he were running the free world,
Where would we move?
Name me a town?
Just who is this clown?

And when we thought we’d heard it all
Huffing and puffing about his big fantasy wall
Making his entrance on stage…
He just shoots from the hip
He’s full of bull
He’s lost his grip!

And if by chance
He gets to heav’n
Even up there he’ll declare…
Chapter Elev’n!
Who’d hire this clown?
This sad vulgar clown…
“You’re fired,” you clown!

Hillary’s kind…
Smart, that’s clear
While she is giving us hope… Trump is selling us fear
Look how he changes his views every time that he speaks
It’s lie after lie
Can’t take eight more weeks!

This is no farce
Maybe he’s broke?
Is this “The Art of His Deal”
Or some awful joke?
You’ve got to admit…
This silly half-wit…
Is so full of…
