“The Poster”
Lyrics Permalink
The circus is coming to town, it said on the poster
Get your tickets now, before it’s too late
A dancing bear and a circus clown, it’s so funny
Oh, I can’t wait to see everything there
I feel like I’m already there
I must see her fly through the air
Horses running ’round and ’round in a circle
I can’t wait to see everything there
I wonder if it’s just like they say on the poster
If it is, I know I will be there
[break]
I feel like I’m already there
I must see her fly through the air
I feel like I’m already there
I must see her fly through the air
