"The Clown Song" (also known as We're Gonna Hit the Big Boss (for a Raise)) is a minor song featured in the film Dumbo. It was sung by the clowns as they attempt to make more money by making Dumbo jump from a thousand-foot building. It is most likely a reference to the Disney animators' strike that was occurring at the time of the film's release.

Oh, we're gonna hit the Big Boss for a raise!
Yes, we're gonna hit the Big Boss for a raise!
Oh, we're gonna get more money, 'cause we know that we're funny
We're gonna hit the Big Boss for a raise!
