Breakfast At The Circus Lyrics - David Wilcox

I woke up this morning and prayed to Gypsy Rose Lee. 

"Gypsy can you help me I'm struggling you see." 

I heard her laughing over by the slot machine 

She said, "Baby, baby, baby, I had the strangest dream." 

Having breakfast at the circus 

With the lions and the clowns 

Everybody's laughing just hanging around 

But nobody's gonna love you unless you help tear down 

Breakfast at the circus with the lions and the clowns 

People walking a tightrope 

Head in the lion's jaws 

They need a little mercy 

So come on Santa Claus 

And when you give your mercy 

Won't you save a drop for us 

We'll remember you, and your family too when they greet us on the bus 

Having breakfast at the circus 

With the lions and the clowns 

Everybody's laughing just hanging around 

But nobody's gonna love you unless you help tear down 

Breakfast at the circus with the lions and the clowns 

My ears are ringing and my mind is a mess 

Give me one goodnight kiss 

To help me forget the past 

Wooh what a party 

Everyone was there 

Great to see you where've you been? 

Hey who does your hair? 

Free balloons and hats and soon the seal will catch a ball 

And after that the acrobat will try to top the show 

Having breakfast at the circus 

With the lions and the clowns 

Everybody's laughing just hanging around 

But nobody's gonna love you unless you help tear down 

Breakfast at the circus with the lions and the clowns
