It's circus time; it’s circus time. I want to seo the horses climb the fences they, in frantio way, seek out as steam Pianos play. I want to see the \amwny cats and bareback folks and @orobats. I yearn to seo the races run and lamp the living skeleton. t's circus time; it’s circus time. For jomonade I'll blow a dime. Of pea- fipute hot I'll eat a lot. Oh, T'll be Wobnny on the spot.
