It's a New Circus

A funny thing happened under the big top Heard a great ruckus and decided to stop Stuck in my head and a commotion rages I saw animals free and people in cages The hippos were on the flying trapeze And the mini circus had lost all of its fleas The monkeys are playing the part of the clowns Throwing pies and chasing the children around The gorilla is the hairy lady and the strong man He is also the knife thrower and the juggler just because he can Over there I hear the goats who are bleating For they are swallowing swords and fire eating You may think this is a joke I see the giraffe way up on the tightrope Another thing that is out of the norm Is the zebra up on the high diving platform The bears are on horses doing the trick riding I see lions with bullwhips and the ringmaster is hiding And just when I think I have seen it all The elephant is now the human cannonball You may think this leaves us sad Or perhaps it makes people mad It's the end of the circus you may fear But for me I cant wait for the show next year
