Lyrics

[00:19.38] Cotton candy two for a quarter
[00:24.23] See if the fat man
[00:26.26] can guess your weight
[00:29.17] A big stuffed tiger is
[00:31.70] what I bought her
[00:34.32] And I'm going home
[00:35.96] cause it's late
[00:49.17] Roller coasters make me dizzy
[00:53.83] And cotton candy makes me sick
[00:59.31] I wish I had some
[01:01.60] Bromo fizzy
[01:04.35] Now that would do the trick
[01:09.30] Everyone knows that the
[01:11.80] clowns aren't happy
[01:13.87] And everyone knows that
[01:15.64] the people don't care
[01:19.90] I wish I could laugh at
[01:21.38] the way that they're acting
[01:23.63] But I'm so sick
[01:25.79] I just don't dare to
[01:38.84] High wire dancers kick and balance
[01:43.67] White silk horses step in time
[01:48.63] The tattooed man
[01:50.23] displays his talents
[01:53.79] I'm not the talented kind
[01:58.40] I always go to
[02:00.20] the circus on Sunday
[02:02.47] And there I can laugh
[02:04.58] at the people I see
[02:07.90] But when I leave home
[02:09.58] in the morning on Monday
[02:11.88] Everybody laughs at me
[02:27.63] you konw I make other
[02:30.14] people nervous
[02:33.39] I guess that's why
[02:35.31] they laugh at me
[02:38.27] But to me my life is
[02:40.43] a three ring circus
[02:43.34] And I can see it for free
[02:48.16] Have you seen my wife Elvira
[02:52.82] She can tame a lion
[02:55.19] you know
[02:57.47] Well I once had
[02:59.13] a bushy mane
[03:01.10] But that was
[03:02.52] so damn long ago
[03:16.64] Tight collared clowns
[03:18.81] in plastic buildings
[03:21.21] Have happy families as their fate
[03:26.24] Happy jobs and happy clubs
[03:30.87] And happy people they hate
[03:36.10] Everyone's juggling
[03:38.42] and everyone's acting
[03:41.24] With smiles of grease
[03:43.79] paint three feet wide
[03:46.70] Everyone's caught
[03:47.76] on a carousel pony
[03:50.44] And one time around
[03:52.42] is a lifetime ride
