lyrics version 1
When I was a little boy
One thing filled my heart with joy
That's when we would go and see
All of the things at the circus
Lions, elephants and bears
Made me throw away my cares
Funny clowns with painted frown
All of the things at the circus
One thing filled my heart with joy
That's when we would go and see
All of the things at the circus
Lions, elephants and bears
Made me throw away my cares
Funny clowns with painted frown
All of the things at the circus
lyrics version 2
Away my cares
Funny clowns with painted frown
All of the things at the circus
Daring men and pretty ladies
Acrobats and things
Inside a box of crackerjacks
I found
Funny clowns with painted frown
All of the things at the circus
Daring men and pretty ladies
Acrobats and things
Inside a box of crackerjacks
I found
lyrics version 3
When I was a little boy
One thing filled my heart with joy
That's when we would go and see
All of the things at the circus
Lions, elephants and bears
Made me throw away my cares
Funny clowns with painted frowns
All of the things at the circus
Daring men and pretty ladies
Acrobats and things
Inside a box of crackerjacks
I found a diamond ring
Afterward, the long way home
In my thoughts, so all alone
I would dream of things I'd seen
All of the things at the circus
All of the things at the circus
All of the things at the circus
One thing filled my heart with joy
That's when we would go and see
All of the things at the circus
Lions, elephants and bears
Made me throw away my cares
Funny clowns with painted frowns
All of the things at the circus
Daring men and pretty ladies
Acrobats and things
Inside a box of crackerjacks
I found a diamond ring
Afterward, the long way home
In my thoughts, so all alone
I would dream of things I'd seen
All of the things at the circus
All of the things at the circus
All of the things at the circus

In my thoughts, so all alone
I would dream of things I'd seen
All of the things at the circus
All of the things at the circus
All of the things at the circus
