ringling road

train rolls in at 10:00 am

kill the lamb for the lions

find some water for the elephants

monkey on his shoulder

is a monkey on his back

could i bum a cigarette

i done smoked my last pack

throw up the big tent

throw down some sawdust

we don't open 'til the 'mornin

step right up

we got beer for the bearded lady

and the siamese twins are into opium

the trapeze guys are all high on cocaine

that they bought from a guy that used to drive the train

we got water for the elephants

everbody knows the greatest party on earth

is the circus down on ringling road

well

the tattoo man is makin' out with snake lady

just to piss off the human cannonball that she been datin'

clown got wasted and he's throwing a shoe

at a bear on a bike with a bottle of booze

tightrope walker is to damn high

welcome to a freakshow friday night

we got beer for the bearded lady

and the siamese twins are into opium

the trapeze guys are all high on cocaine

that they bought from a guy that used to drive the train

we got water for the elephants

everbody knows the greatest party on earth

is the circus down on ringling road

ringling road

down on ringling road

we got beer for the bearded lady

and the siamese twins are into opium

the trapeze guys are all high on cocaine

that they bought from a guy that used to drive the train

we got beer for the bearded lady

and the siamese twins are into opium

the trapeze guys are all high on cocaine

that they bought from a guy that used to drive the train

everbody knows the greatest party on earth
