Train rolls in at ten am

Kill the lamb for the lions, find some water for the elephants

Monkey on his shoulder, is a monkey on his back

Could I bum a cigarette, I done smoked my last pack

Throw up the big tent, throw down some sawdust

We don't open till the 'mornin, step right up



We got beer for the bearded lady

And the Siamese twins are into opium

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

Everbody knows the greatest party on earth

Is the circus down on Ringling Road



Well, the Tattoo man is making out with snake lady

Just to piss off the human cannonball that she been dating

Clown got wasted and he's throwing a shoe

At a bear on a bike with a bottle of booze

Tightrope walker is to damn high

Welcome to a freakshow Friday night



We got beer for the bearded lady

And the Siamese twins are into opium

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

Everbody 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

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

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

Everbody knows the greatest party on earth

Is the circus down on Ringling Road
