DREAMING OF THE BIGTOP
Jimmy’s eyes they light up
when the circus is coming to town
and with peanuts in hand the boy sits in the stands
and dreams of being a clown
But the chores on the farm are all lined up
and he won’t be leaving today
by the time he is through with the chores he must do
the trapeze has swung for the day
Jimmy’s dream had faded
when the colorful bigtop left town
as the years passed him by and the clown in him died
Priscilla his true love he found
But as childhood dreams resurfaced
psychological problems abound…
and with beernuts in hand and a twelve pack in cans
he packed up his clown suit for town
The circus of life still travels
throughout childhood memories
and as acrobats roll and tickets are sold
magician will vanish our dreams
But like Jimmy we’ve got to remember
nothing will come from a frown
so hold tight to your dreams and follow your schemes
the circus is coming to your town
