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.

    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
