If I was a cricus man
   Then I'd be a circus man
   Only you could understand
   All my life ahead of me
   That's the way it ought to be
   Circus take me away
   Yonder where I've been again
   Then I'll be back again
   Be a brand new day
  
   See the girlie on TV
   Wonder if she could see me
   By the funny magazines of talk
   It's a secret part of me, secret identity
   Love to lvoe my honey all night long
   Take a walk around the block
   See the future of the clock
   No good in forgetting
  
   If I wasa circus man
   Only you would understand
   There's a story there to tell
   See your brother burn in hell
