Chorus
For when the circus comes to town I want to see
The whole darn’d shotting match from A to Z
I want to see the clown
When he drives about the town
And I want to hear the steam piano play, by gee
I’ll spend as much as sixty cents
To walk right up and see the show commence
With my gal, Samantha Brown
In her stunning new Spring gown
I’ll be a reg’lar cutup when the circus comes to town
