I swear by all that makes me breathe and with a half-closed jasmine eye

I will slam the mighty claw into the ground 

And dig up the treasure I've heard tell is around... 

For I have come to play, and no one can take that away

And if I burn for what I say, I'll do it, but some other day

And I'll go kicking and screaming, all the way



Wednesday's child is full of woe

Strap on a weapon and he's ready to roll

Wind him up and watch him go

From the spit in his teeth to the gum on his sole



He's in the circle

Circle of the rings



If at first you don't succeed

Do it till you're sore re and your fingers bleed

Flesh grows stronger, turns to steel

It does not fear what it does not feel



No one takes the circle away

We have come, come to play



With luck in his eyes the magic man

Holds the ace in the palm of his hand

With dusk till dawn at his command

He blows his winnings like nobody can



He's in the circle

Circle of the rings



That man he holds a steady eye

Sinks the eight ball every time

He never runs and he never shouts

And he never gonna tell you what he's thinking about



No one takes the circle away

We have come, come to play
