A Circus of Clowns - Danny Schmidt[00:00:00]

The day the circus came[00:00:16]

To town half the town rejoiced[00:00:18]

The other half was sick in bed [00:00:24]

And sure they'd lost their voice[00:00:27]

Atop a great white elephant[00:00:32]

Rode a monkey on a leash[00:00:36]

They led the grand parade[00:00:40]

But when the monkey tried to speak[00:00:43]

Trumpets blared and sparklers flared[00:00:48]

And thunder shook the ground[00:00:51]

As the elephant split open wide[00:00:55]

And out poured all the clowns[00:01:00]

A circus full of circus clowns --[00:01:20]

All somersaults and flips[00:01:23]

With pie upon their faces[00:01:27]

And with riddles on their lips[00:01:30]

The children all got peanuts[00:01:35]

And the grownups all got checks[00:01:39]

And everyone agreed it[00:01:43]

Was the greatest circus yet[00:01:46]

The tigers cracked their whips[00:01:51]

Until the trainers jumped through hoops[00:01:54]

Then the clowns declared the cage[00:01:59]

Unfair and turned the tigers loose[00:02:02]

One clown juggled fire[00:02:24]

While he swung from the trapeze[00:02:28]

But he smacked and hit the tent post[00:02:32]

With the greatest of dis-ease[00:02:35]

The fire took the tent post[00:02:40]

And the tent came crashing down[00:02:44]

The fire truck came quickly[00:02:48]

But the back was full of clowns[00:02:51]

And they filled the hose[00:02:56]

With righteous prose and gasoline and gall[00:02:58]

“Relax we'll fight the fire back[00:03:05]

With human cannonballs”[00:03:09]

The spectacle was gripping --[00:03:29]

A circus show indeed[00:03:34]

That no one took a notice[00:03:38]

As the clowns took to the streets[00:03:40]

On tricycles with wagons[00:03:46]

And with toilet paper spools[00:03:50]

They tee-peed all the neighbors' homes[00:03:54]

And pissed in all the pools[00:03:58]

“Oh look Oh look it's festive now[00:04:02]

A three ring Marti Gras ”[00:04:06]

Folks looked up to see the fuss [00:04:10]

And watched in shock and awe[00:04:14]

The crowd had gotten weary[00:04:34]

It was time the clowns should leave[00:04:38]

But the clowns all played[00:04:42]

A desperate game of hide without the seek[00:04:44]

But they were easily discovered[00:04:50]

In the shadows where they hid[00:04:54]

Cause every clown was pointing[00:04:58]

Out the clown right next to him[00:05:02]

Let's load em up in circus trucks[00:05:07]

And drive them out of town [00:05:11]

It's not that they are bad per se[00:05:15]

It's just that clowns are clowns[00:05:19]
