Eb            Cm  Ab         Fm
Cotton candy, two for a quarter
Bb                         Eb  Bb
See if the fat man can guess your weight
Eb         Gm           Cm Eb Ab Eb Ab
A big stuffed tiger is what I bought her
Bb                                         Eb Bb  Ab
And I'm going home 'cause it's late

Bb  Cm                     Fm
Roller coasters make me dizzy
Fm             Bb             Eb
cotton candy makes me sick
Eb  Gm  Cm Eb  Ab  Eb       Fm
I wish I had some Bromo fizzy
Bb                        Eb
That would do the trick

Ab                           Eb
Everyone knows that the clowns aren't happy
Ab              Bb                    Eb
And everyone knows that the people don't care
Ab                    Bb                      C
I wish I could laugh at the way that they're acting
C                 Fm Ab              Bb Fm
But I'm so sick, I just don't dare to

Eb              Cm      Ab          Bb
High wire dancers kick and balance
Bb                        Eb
White silk horses step in time
Eb                        Ab               Fm
The tattooed man displays his talents
Bb                           Eb
I'm not the talented kind

Ab              Bb           Eb
I always go to the circus on Sunday
Ab                Bb                       Eb              Ab
And there I can laugh at the people I see
Ab                       Bb                Cm            C
But when I leave home in the morning on Monday
F                          Bb
Everybody laughs at me

Ebm   Eb                               Fm
You know, I make other people nervous
Bb                              Eb
I guess that's why they laugh at me
Eb                                 Fm
But to me my life is a three-ring circus
Bb                        Eb
And I can see it for free

Ab               Bb                   Eb
Have you seen my wife Elvira?
Ab             Gm   Eb                Ab
She can tame a lion, you know
Ab         Eb
Well, I once had a bushy mane
C                   B  Bb
But that was so damn long ago

Eb                                Ab                        Fm
Tight-collared clowns in plastic buildings
Bb                           Eb           Bb
Have happy families as their fate
Eb        C            Fm
Happy jobs and happy clubs
Fm    Bb      Eb        Fm  Eb
And happy people they hate

Ab               Bb               Eb
Everyone's juggling and everyone's acting
Ab     Bb                              Eb
With smiles of grease paint three feet wide
Ab              Bb               Eb           C
Everyone's caught on a carousel pony
Bb    Cm           Gm            Ab   Bb Eb
And one time around is a lifetime ride
