Circus Song Lyrics - 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

20 Classic Christmas Lyrics to Celebrate The Holiday Season 

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 

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 

Photos 

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
