Who's Boss?
One of the clowns in my circus
wants to be ringmaster and crack the whip
one of the sailors on board my boat
wants to be captain and steer the ship
but there's only room for one
under the big tophat my dear
so they're both out of luck
and the buck stops here
I have the last and final say
tho' not one

The Dancing Bear and the Circus Ringmaster
The Dancing Bear and the Circus Ringmaster
Went to the circus saw bears;
Running, jumping rope climbing stairs;
I see the dancing of the man,
I think he's angry at the pan.
He finds it hard to see the dancing,
Overshadowed by the giants freelancing;

Laughter and those childish yells.
The strongest man and the playful dwarfs
Knife throwers

The Ringmaster Unseen

The Ringmaster
You were the Ringmaster
Announcer of the show
But now that you are leaving, there will be no more entertainment
we have to let you go
The lights will dim, the noise will not arise
There will be no more acts to follow, they will be put aside
The laughter, the jokes, the gestures you've
