Three Ring Circus Lyrics - Blue Magic

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls 

Children of all ages 

Welcome to the big top 

See the ferocious lions 

Thrill to the fabulous monkeys 

Laugh along with the hilarious clowns 

See them, life is a three ring circus 

The whistle blows as he makes his rounds 

He's seen every town west of Mississippi 

He's just a face painted all in smiles 

Jumpin' up and down and makin' people happy 

Though deep inside a shadow grows 

He could laugh and no one knows 

There's a lonely man inside 

[Chorus:] 

Life is a three ring circus 

All of the ups and downs of a carousel 

That I know so well 

Life is a three ring circus 

Just one little ride on a merry-go-round 

Goin' 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round 

He does the best like the minstrel did 

Just to please the kids and keep the people laughing 

But no one knows that beneath the clothes 

And his turned up nose lies a lonely beggar 

He needs the love he spreads around 

Bu tin life he's just a clown 

Till they bring the curtain down 

[Chorus] 

He needs the love that can't be found 

But you're just too blind to see 

That the clown is really needy 

[Chorus] 

Goin' 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round [Repeat x 6]
