Circus Money Lyrics - Circus Money - Walter Becker

They bang the hammer and they pitch the tents 

Throw up some posters for the residents 

Your daddy's footfalls on the rain-slicked streets 

You try to keep up with your tiny feets 

Take it easy baby nice and slow 

Little Walter's got a ways to go 

I lacks a nickel momma don't you know 

Circus money for the early show 

The tiger's sleeping and he can't wake up 

You pitch some pennies in a paper cup 

They guess your age — they guess your weight 

You toss the softballs at the china plates 

Hold'er steady baby there you go 

Let me hit you honey sweet and low 

Thus the tab is written blow by blow 

Circus money for the evening show

All the horses baby all the men 

Round the circle and around again 

You watch some hobo take a nasty spill 

Laugh like a bastard oh you know you will 

You got to have it when you first walk up 

You drop a dollar in the old tin cup 

You're gonna need it when it's time to go 

Circus money for the late late show
