| Roll up, roll up to the jamboree
|
| Roll up, roll up to the jamboree
|
| Roll up, roll up, troupers jamboree
|
| Old friends attend, long time no see
|
| Roll up, roll up, troupers come on down
|
| Big top, non stop, annual reunion
|
| I know what you’re thinking, I know what you’ll say
|
| But I gotta getta be, at the troupers jamboree
|
| There’s safety in numbers, I’ll never forget
|
| 40 years ago, on with the show
|
| Distant voices calling, calling me
|
| Entertaining me
|
| Memories of the heydays
|
| With the better company
|
| I know what you’re thinking, I know what you’ll say
|
| But I gotta getta be, at the troupers jamboree
|
| There’s safety in numbers, I’ll never forget
|
| 40 years ago, on with the show
|
| Roll up, roll up, troupers jamboree
|
| Old friends attend, long time no see
|
| Roll up, roll up, troupers come on down
|
| Big top, non stop, annual reunion
|
| Keeping a lonely vigil while the girls all have a ball
|
| The stories come out thick and fast, long, short and tall
|
| There’s Frank du Preze on the flying trapeze
|
| Finally come down to earth
|
| Good ol' Chris the contortionist, is bent if not worse
|
| Dear ol' Merle the strip-tease girl, do anything for kicks
|
| And the ol' magician has disappeared, still up to his old tricks
|
| Well the gag man’s been gagged
|
| And the straight man’s gone straight
|
| The mime artiste too clever for words
|
| And the MC’s still late
|
| Oh Jamboree, oh Jamboree!
|
| Oh Jamboree, oh Jamboree!
|
| Oh Jamboree, oh Jamboree!
|
| Oh Jamboree, oh Jamboree! |
