Circus of Life

[Verse 1] You take one step then two and three Take my hand and come with me Gonna take a little ride you see In this circus of life Step up! Come on! Don't be afraid! Gather round ladies and gentlemen Girls and boys it's all fun and games In the circus of life (ha ha ha) Till it's not [Chorus] Round and round we go Fast and slow on this carousel of hope Hope it don't get worse Hope it gets better Hope this, hope that Until hope falls flat Hope is a dwindling commodity Worn down by such strife Right here in the circus of life [Verse 2] Take a bite then take some more Let the libations pour Eat and drink till you hit the floor Crawl back when you wake to get some more All refreshments are complimentary If you don't get caught So please enjoy yourself if you can We are only here for a short time Then the circus is pulling out of town Tick tock, tick tock (ha ha ha) [Chorus] Round and round we go Fast and slow on this carousel of hope Hope it don't get worse Hope it gets better Hope this, hope that Until hope falls flat Hope is a dwindling commodity Worn down by such strife Right here in the circus of life [Bridge] I hope you've had fun, had a bash and blast Got your fill 'cause closing time is coming up fast Disappointed? (ha!) You won't be last Feel you got cheated? Taken for a ride? Why? Mmm, it's what happens here In the circus (ah!) [Outro] So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodbye Good luck, good night, the party's over Here at the circus Oh yes, the circus You don't have to go home but you can't stay here Here at the circus of life (ha ha ha ha ha)
