Now I, I want out of the circus Since the girl in the blue sparkly dress On one knee I confessed Put and end to that exchange of glances. Now I, I want out of the circus That old gang of dwarves-- Sometimes, they're downright feral When they, they been 'round that old beer barrel The old lion's teeth Seems like a smile to me, With some sweet relief I just stick my head in. Now my tail is too ordinary For anyone to care at all, Not like the man repeatedly struck by lightning When he bares his scars, we all know. When he bares his scars, he is a star.
