When the Circus Comes
to Town
Words & Music By Chris
Karabas
Well they're puttin up the tent at
the old fair ground
Parade of animals is coming can't
you hear the sound?
I've got a funny, funny feeling
that the circus has come to town.
The ferris wheel lifts me up high
from the ground
In the funhouse mirror I look short
and round
You see some funny, funny things
when the circus comes to town
When the circus comes to town
everything's all right
Mom and dad let me stay up late
tonight.
To see the lions ,and tigers and
bears...elephants anc clowns
Oh it's great to be a kid, when
the circus comes to town.
I'm eatin' cotton candy as the sun
goes down
I've never seen a snow cone so big
and round
My tummy feels funny, when the
circus comes to town
Chorus
The ringmaster shouts " attention
one and all" Presenting the human cannonball
Evereybody counts along 321!
He comes spiraling down, into the
net just above the ground
It's a great to be a kid...when
the circus comes to town
