If I was a cricus man

Then I'd be a circus man

Only you could understand

All my life ahead of me

That's the way it ought to be

Circus take me away

Yonder where I've been again

Then I'll be back again

Be a brand new day

See the girlie on TV

Wonder if she could see me

By the funny magazines of talk

It's a secret part of me, secret identity

Love to lvoe my honey all night long

Take a walk around the block

See the future of the clock

No good in forgetting

If I wasa circus man

Only you would understand

There's a story there to tell

See your brother burn in hell
