Life Is a Circus

Tootsie toot’s and Popsicle cubes A tasty treat on a hot summer day Lick them once and swallow them down Candy cotton and a clown Shoot the target win a prize A teddy bear with blue eyes A fortune read just a dime Go on an elephant ride Under the big top a trapeze Swinging in tightly tight tights If they fall, splat they will go No more big top circus show House of mirrors to many beers Double is all I see I need to pee Let me out this is miss leading I wish I had the bathroom key Women with a beard A man with Womens hair All confusing to me but, That’s the Circus Life in Hollywood

G'day Bobby … the circus was huge when it came to our little village, but no more. The rules of the world have changed. Thank you bringing back old memories Bobby - Lindsay

Back in the day we would drive down Hollywood Blvd. trying to pick up girls (Like we knew what we were doing, lol) If you whistle at a girl today you get arrested, times sure have changed.
