Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Train rolls in at 10 AM
Kill the lamb for the lion, find some water for the elephants
The monkey on my shoulder got a monkey on his back
Could I bum a cigarette, he done smoked my last pack
[Verse 2]
Put up the big top, throw down the sawdust
We don't open till tomorrow, so step right up
[Verse 3]
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 buy 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
[Verse 4]
Well, the tattoo man was making 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 a bottle of booze
The tightrope walker is too damn high
Welcome to a freak show Friday night
[Verse 5]
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 buy 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
[Verse 6]
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 buy from a guy that used to drive the train
[Verse 7]
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 buy 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
