Solved thanks to @etherphon! Tears of a Clown by Smokey Robinson

I tried a browser search but results were all over the place. It’s a pretty common tune and I was curious about its background.
EDIT: I should have put middle school orchestra in the title, sorry about that.
ya got any info whatsoever… lyrics? years, anything?
I forgot to mention orchestra, oof! I think it’s an instrumental but not certain. All my brain will spit out is the intro/chorus and verse tunes.
Here’s a lame attempt at the melody:
Doo, doo, ^doo^, (rest), da-da-dat dat dat doo
Is it “My pal foot foot” by The Shaggs?
No, it’s an orchestra
Maybe something Jackson 5?
No, definitely not

THAT’S it! Thank you. Pretty sure I’ve never heard the lyrics before now.
First thought was Louie, Louie by the kingsmen
No, though I think it’s another one hit wonder
The Archies - Sugar, sugar ?
