Circus Songtext
von Eric Brace & Peter Cooper

Here comes the circus back to town
I′ve got a kid, he loves the clown
When I was his age I did too
But now I don't, what can you do?
He doesn′t worry 'bout the lions
Tigers and bears, they are his friends
I'm stuck with fearful agitation
And disbelief I can′t suspend


We won′t be going to the circus
I can't imagine why we would
There′s a brand new sucker born every minute
You can spin it most any way

But would you bring back something from the circus?
Some kind of little souvenir?
He'll think much better of the circus
Imagining the thing from here

Here comes the circus back to town
I′ve got a kid, he loves the clown
When I was his age I did too
I grew up to be one, whoop-dee-doo
