The day the circus came to townWe lined the streets from LeithTo beyond beliefThe day the circus came to townThe wind was light to moderate& there was fog on higher ground& everybody laughed or did not laughWhen a couple of mongrels coupled on the pathThe day the circus came to townThe day the circus came to townThe department stores were crammedLike hell with the DamnedThe day the circus came to townThere were ten years in a decadeA hundred pennies in a pound& everybody clapped or did not clapWhen an orchestra swept past in dragThe day the circus came to townI couldn't tell the two apartBut there's only room for one in my heartSongtexteBecause being of one mind is a capital crimeI will pack & unpack at the drop of a hat& I will join or leave that circusAt any given pointAt any given pointAt any given point in timeThe day the circus came to townIt was overtime for the boys in blue But they were dancing tooThe circus came to townThe fork was on the left & the knife was on the right& the diner sat down& everybody cheered or did not cheerWhen a boy took off his hat & his hair appearedThe day the circus came to town The day the circus came to townGod was in his heaven like a goldfish in a bowlTo the visible dismay of air traffic control The day the circus came to town Last night's party met the day's first hearseSpilling vodka on the wake made a fatal mistake With a match flabbergastedWatched them all fallFlambeed six feet underground & everybody booed or did not boo When the ghost of Deacon Brodie sawed a corpse in two The day the circus came to townStill can't tell the two apartBut there's only room for one in my heartBecause being of one mind is a capital crimeI will pack & unpack at the drop of a hat& I will join or leave that circusAt any given point in timeBecause being of one mind is a capital crimeI will pack & unpack at the drop of a hat& I will join or leave that circusAt any given pointAt any given pointAt any given point in timeBecause being of one mind is a cap-cap-capital crimeI will pack & unpack at the drop of a hat& I will join or leave that circusAt any given pointAny given pointAt any given point in time Aus Songtexte Mania
