Lyrics
Chorus:
‘Circus is coming to town
‘Circus is coming to town
Two dozen acrobats from o’er the foam
And Salome, Hip-hip-hippodrome
Come see the comical clown
Turning himself upside-down
Come and purchase a photograph
Of the freaks and the big giraffe
Open your dining room and start to laugh
The circus is coming to town
Sung by Laurence Rubenstein:
