Jamboree Lyrics - Singles - Split Enz

Roll up, roll up to the jamboree 

Roll up, roll up to the jamboree 

Roll up, roll up, troupers jamboree 

Old friends attend, long time no see 

Roll up, roll up, troupers come on down 

Big top, non stop, annual reunion 

I know what you're thinking, I know what you'll say 

But I gotta getta be, to the troupers jamboree 

There's safety in numbers, I'll never forget 

40 years ago, on with the show 

Distant voices calling, calling me 

Entertaining me 

Memories of the heydays 

With the better company 

I know what you're thinking, I know what you'll say 

But I gotta getta be, at the troupers jamboree 

There's safety in numbers, I'll never forget 

40 years ago, on with the show 

Roll up, roll up, troupers jamboree 

Old friends attend, long time no see 

Roll up, roll up, troupers come on down 

Big top, non stop, annual reunion 

Keeping a lonely vigil while the girls all have a ball 

The stories come out thick and fast, long, short and tall 

There's Frank du Preze on the flying trapeze 

Finally come down to earth 

Good ol' Chris the contortionist, is bent if not worse 

Dear ol' Merle the strip-tease girl, do anything for kicks 

And the ol' magician has disappeared, still up to his old tricks 

Well the gag man's been gagged 

And the straight man's gone straight 

The mime artiste too clever for words 

And the MC's still late 

Oh Jamboree, oh Jamboree! 

Oh Jamboree, oh Jamboree! 

Oh Jamboree, oh Jamboree! 

Oh Jamboree, oh Jamboree!
