Aren't the original words sung by Judy Collins

"Isn't it rich?
Isn't it queer?
Losing my timing this late in my career.
And where are the clowns?
There ought to be clowns...
Well, maybe next year."

I'm just curious if the recording's has been re-issued with a word change. Bit like Leonard Cohen "Give me crack and anal sex" being changed to "Give me crack and unsafe sex" (The Future.)

I think "Send in the Clowns", along with "Houses" are Judy Collins at her best, both make the hairs on my arms stand up.
