I woke up this morning and prayed to the gypsy rose lady
|
"Gypsy can you help me I'm struggling you see."
|
I heard her laughing over by the slot machine
|
She said, "Baby, baby, baby, I had the strangest dream."
|
|
Having breakfast at the circus
|
With the lions and the clowns
|
Everybody's laughing just hanging around
|
But nobody's gonna love you unless you help tear down
|
Breakfast at the cirucs with the lions and the clowns
|
|
People walking a tightrope
|
Head in the lion's jaws
|
They need a little mercy
|
So come on Santa Claus
|
And when you give your mercy
|
Won't you save a drop for us
|
We'll remember you, and your family too when they get us on the bus
|
|
Having breakfast at the circus
|
With the lions and the clowns
|
Everybody's laughing just hanging around
|
But nobody's gonna love you unless you help tear down
|
Breakfast at the cirucs with the lions and the clowns
|
|
My ears are ringing and my mind is a mess
|
Give me one goodnight kiss
|
To help me forget the past
|
|
Wooh what a party
|
Everyone was there
|
Great to see you where've you been?
|
Hey who does your hair?
|
Free balloons and hats and soon the seal will catch a ball
|
And after that the acrobat will try to top the show
|
|
Having breakfast at the circus
|
With the lions and the clowns
|
Everybody's laughing just hanging around
|
But nobody's gonna love you unless you help tear down
|
Breakfast at the circus with the lions and the clowns
