Circus Song

歌曲：Circus Song

歌手：Don McLean

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



you konw 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
