When the Circus Comes to Town

The bear was dancing
Jumpin' up and down
He clapped his hands
Just like a clown
Each time he pulled his chain so tight
Everybody laughed with sheer delight

Now when the circus comes to town
I'll be around

And the red-eyed tiger flicks his tail
He circles 'round to no avail
Each time the whip cracked so
The crowd gave out a mighty cheer

Now when the circus comes to town
I'll be around

In baggy trousers and a big red nose
He brings a smile, wherever he goes
He sits himself up and then tumbles down
We all laugh and cheer for the sad-faced clown

Yeah, when the circus comes to town
I'll be around

Yeah, when the circus comes to town
I'll be around
Yeah, when the circus comes to town
I'll be around
