The circus is in town. Here comes Bonkers, The redhaired clown. The parade is beginning. I can hear the band. The tuba, the trumpet, It's all so very grand. Next come the horses, Stepping so high. They dance and they prance As they pass us by. The brightly painted wagons Roll along behind With tigers and bears- The next one has a lion. Next come the elephants Linked trunk to tail. Can't you hear the calliope? There's just too much to tell. Later they'll put up the tent. Tonight we'll see the show. High-wires and trapezes. I just can't wait to go. Acrobats and hoops of fire- A lady with a beard. One moment there's a funny clown And next, a dancing bear. When the show is over And we're safe at home in bed We'll dream of bears and acrobats And a clown with hair of red. | ||
