Circus Song lyrics

[Verse 1]
Cotton candy, two for a quarter
See if the fat man can guess your weight
A big stuffed tiger's what I bought her
And I'm going home 'cause it's late

[Verse 2]
Roller coasters make me dizzy
And cotton candy makes me sick
I wish I had some bromo-fizzy
That would do the trick

[Bridge]
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

[Verse 3]
High wire dancers kick and balance
White silk horses step in time
The tattooed man displays his talents
I'm not the talented kind

[Bridge]
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
[Verse 4]
You know 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

[Bridge]
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

[Verse 5]
Tight-collared clowns in plastic buildings
Have happy families as their fate
Happy jobs and happy clubs
And happy people they hate

[Outro]
Everyone's juggling and everyone's acting
With smiles of grease paint three feet wide
And everyone's caught on a carousel pony
And one time around is a lifetime ride
