According to Stephen Sondheim, the composer /writer: " I get a lot of letters over the years asking what the title means and what the song’s about. I never thought it would be in any way esoteric. I wanted to use theatrical imagery in the song, because she’s an actress, but it’s not supposed to be a ‘circus’. It’s a theater reference meaning ‘if the show isn’t going well, let’s send in the clowns’; in other words, ‘let’s do the jokes.’ I always want to know, when I’m writing a song, what the end is going to be, so ‘Send in the Clowns’ didn’t settle in until I got the notion, ‘Don’t bother, they’re here’ which means that ‘We are the fools. And, that’s the story."

Clowns are sent in at the end of each act to entertain before the next performance. Makes perfect sense to an ending affair.

If things are going wrong, you send in the clowns, it's a theatrical terminology I think: by saying that things are so bad, they're funny.

A song of regret. She didn't want him, when he so wanted her in the past. She then realises that it was him all along, but he is now content with someone else. The clowns meaning fools really.

They send clowns into the circus ring to distract the audience when things go awry. I think she is saying things have gone awry in their relationship and that they use distraction to not face the truth.
