[1st verse:]
|
Honey, did you see that bill
|
Pasted there on yonder hill?
|
Kindly pay attention
|
To what the letters mention
|
'Twill give you a wonderful thrill
|
Chase away those weary blues
|
Ain't you heard the happy news?
|
|
[Refrain:]
|
'Circus is coming to town
|
'Circus is coming to town
|
Two dozen acrobats from o'er the foam
|
And Salome
|
Hip-hip-hippodrome
|
Come see the comical clown
|
Turning himself upside-down
|
Come and purchase a photograph
|
Of the freaks and the big giraffe
|
Open your dining room and start to laugh
|
The circus is coming to town
|
|
[2nd verse:]
|
Come and see the big parade
|
Jazzy music will be played
|
Just before we're seated
|
I'll see that you are treated
|
To peanuts and red lemonade
|
Barnum had the right idea
|
Come and give him one big cheer
|
|
