  • Pre>intro: a em a em gm
  • A em g d
  • The ringmaster looked a bit pasty and down dying as he was to get out of town
  • A em
  • The lions and the tigers had gnawed at his feet
  • G d
  • But the lion tamers whip hurt much more than their teeth
  • A em g d
  • The giovanni sisters performed in a sweat someone cut holes in the safety net
  • A em
  • The ritzo brothers cancelled at the last minute
  • G d
  • But no one missed their act there wasnt much in it
  • Chorus
  • A em d a
  • And after the show that night the clowns had the makeup wiped from their faces
  • A em d a
  • When somebody pulled a knife and cut off cocos bright red braces
  • A d a e a d a e
  • They murdered the clown they wiped that grin right off his face
  • A d a e a d a e
  • They murdered the clown still the worlds not a funnier place
  • Em gm
  • Funnier place (first and last time only)
  • The kids rode the elephant heavy as lead
  • I think hed much rather have sat on their heads
  • Theyre ripping the horn from the rhino tonight
  • So some fat sheik can ***** all night
  • And watch out for coco when hes had a drink
  • Hell tickle the children right where theyre pink
  • You might run away with the circus for fun
  • But it looks more like somewhere that youd run from (repeat chorus)
  • You should see the fear on the dancing bears faces
  • Take off their muzzles and check out the view
  • The gypsy boys seem such colourful characters
  • But you wouldnt want them moving in next to you
  • And after the whole lot has pulled out of town
  • The ringmaster still looks like hes going to drown
  • He pulls out a long knife that bears his initials
  • And buries it deep before he blows the whistle
  • A em
  • She looked at him sideways she looked at him dark
  • G d
  • She pulled at her beard and she started to bark
  • A em
  • He told her before not to mess with the staff
  • G
  • But she fell for the clown because she said he made her laugh (repeat chorus) /pre>
