Circus Song |
Cotton candy, two for a quarter |
See if the fat man can guess your weight |
A big stuffed tiger is what I bought her |
And I’m going home 'cause it’s late |
Roller coasters make me dizzy |
And cotton candy makes me sick |
I wish I had some Bromo fizzy |
Now that would do the trick |
Everyone knows that the clowns aren’t happy |
And everyone knows that the people don’t care |
I wish I could laugh at the way that they’re acting |
But I’m so sick, I just don’t dare to |
High wire dancers kick and balance |
White silk horses step in time |
The tattooed man displays his talents |
I’m not the talented kind |
I always go to the circus on Sunday |
And there I can laugh at the people I see |
But when I leave home in the morning on Monday |
Everybody laughs at me |
I make other people nervous |
I guess that’s why they laugh at me |
But to me my life is a three-ring circus |
And I can see it for free |
Have you seen my wife Elvira? |
She can tame a lion, you know |
Well, I once had a bushy mane |
But that was so damn long ago |
Tight-collared clowns in plastic buildings |
Have happy families as their fate |
Happy jobs and happy clubs |
And happy people they hate |
Everyone’s juggling and everyone’s acting |
With smiles of grease paint three feet wide |
Everyone’s caught on a carousel pony |
And one time around is a lifetime ride |
