'twas Tea-time At The Circus Lyrics - Procol Harum

'Twas tea-time at the circus: King Jimi, he was there 

Through hoops he skipped, high wires he tripped, and all the while the glare 

of the aching, baking spotlight beat down upon his cloak 

and though the crowd clapped furiously they could not see the joke 

'Twas tea-time at the circus, though some might not agree 

as jugglers danced, and horses pranced and clowns clowned endlessly 

But trunk to tail the elephants quite silent, never spoke 

and though the crowd clapped desperately they could not see the joke
