You know the word's goin' round
that there's a circus in town
And I think that I'm gonna go there
There's a whole lot of action
you can't see for a fraction
I think two dollars is the total fare
They got a man on wire
that just keeps getting higher
Till you don't even know
that he's there
They got a rock 'n 'roll band
that's getting quite a hand
And everybody says there's a rage
They do a marvelous beat,
they play a psychedelic beat
Don't you believe
that they're working in a cage
I said the word's goin' round
that there's a circus in town
And I think that I'm gonna fall by
They've got an interlude
with a sugar cue
That's really supposed to
catch your eye
They've got some other tricks
A couple folks with sticks
Or the head of a hostile gang
They got a million clowns
with their hair weighed down
And all the people laugh as they walk by
If you go on Monday
You can see a junkie
Tuesday is a Monday,
and they do the funky
Broadway
Wednesday's kind of quiet,
so they have a teenage riot
Thursday is a cutie,
they've got a topless nudie
Friday's kind of heavy,
so they increase the levy
And Saturday, I understand,
is just a great big traffic jam
And I've been told today that's best,
it falls upon the day of rest
even have a choir sing
I mean, if you like that sort of thing
Yes, the word's going round
that there's a circus in town
And I think that I'm gonna go there
It's not the usual kind
it's supposed to blow your mind for the hip
as well as the square
and what amazes me
it simultaneously opened every place
and everywhere ahhh ah
Ah. Ah, yeah!
