In a circle Running your own circus
Lions in their cages Showing off their pride
Ponies on the stage Offered for a ride
In a circle Running your own circus
Jumping through the hoops Swinging up on high
Who will catch me If I fall and die?
In a circle Running your own circus
Clowning for laughter Cry backstage, shortly after
Show must go on! Show must go on!
In a circle Running your own circus
Acrobats in motion Crowd cheering with devotion
Should the show go on?
Shut the lights, leave the tent. The show has come to its end.
