He done smoked my last pack Put up the big top, throw down the sawdust We don't open 'til tomorrow, so step right up We got beer for the bearded lady And the Siamese twins are into opium And 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 Everybody 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'd been dating The clown got wasted, now, he's throwing his shoes At a bear on a bike with the bottle of booze The tightrope walker is too damn high Welcome to a freak-show Friday night We got beer for the bearded lady And the Siamese twins are into opium And 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 Everybody 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 And 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 And 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 Everybody knows the greatest party on earth Is the circus down on Ringling Road (Ain't once appreciated-) (You know-, garbage-) (Ra-ta, ta-ra-ra-ra, ra-ta, ta-ra-ra-ra) (Ra-ta, ta-ra-ra-ra, ra-ta, ta-ra-ra-ra) (Ra-ta, ta-ra-ra-ra, ra-ta, ta-ra-ra-ra) (Ra-ta, ta-ra-ra-ra, ra-ta, ta-ra-ra-ra) (Ra-ta, ta-ra-ra-ra, ra-ta, ta-ra-ra-ra) (Ra-ta, ta-ra-ra-ra, ra-ta, ta-ra-ra-ra) (Ra-ta, ta-ra-ra-ra, ra-ta, ta-ra-ra-ra) (Ra-ta, ta-ra-ra-ra, ra-ta, ta-ra-ra-ra) (Ra-ta, ta-ra-ra-ra, ra-ta, ta-ra-ra-ra) (Ra-ta, ta-ra-ra-ra, ra-ta, ta-ra-ra-ra) (Ra-ta, ta-ra-ra-ra, ra-ta, ta-ra-ra-ra) (Ra-ta, ta-ra-ra-ra, ra-ta, ta-ra-ra-ra) (Ra-ta, ta-ra-ra-ra, ra-ta, ta-ra-ra-ra) (Ra-ta, ta-ra-ra-ra, ra-ta, ta-ra-ra-ra) (Will you care to go?)
