Big Top, Soda Pop

Circus came to town today, and it swept me away
Just like a carousel, all the colors seemed to swell
Horses pranced, their heads held high
Trapeze artists in the sky
A man shot like a cannon ball
Giants big and midgets small

Chorus:
Big top, soda pop, sawdust on the floor
To be a circus star, who could want more?

Circus came to town today, glitz and flash, a wild parade
Dizzy with its majesty, I thought perhaps it was for me
A clown took me aside, said “Are you ready to apply?
Once you join, you’re stuck inside. The circus is our disguise.”

Chorus

Circus came to town today, smoke and mirrors did amaze
But when the patrons left the tent, I saw you don’t see what you get
They packed into a caravan, barely fit for beast or man
And when the clown washed off his smile, I turn and ran for miles and miles

Big top, soda pop,
sawdust on the floor
To be a circus star,
I want more,
I want more,
I want more,
I want more,
I want more
